The Research On Applications Of On-Line College Student's Characteristic In Web-based Curriculum Designing

E-Learning in our nation used as a new learning manner mainly materializes in higher education presently that is discussed in this thesis. Inadequate researches in online college student's characteristic directly affect the curriculum's scientific nature and then evenly affect the learner's learning effect. So, Learner's Characteristic Analysis (LCA) is also the basis of designing web-based curriculum. Only integrating LCA to curriculum design can it fully plays advantages learning online. The online curriculum designer should try to applying students'LCA to web-based curriculum design therefore to improve student's learning effect. LCA consists of three aspects as below : Initial Ability Analysis; General Characteristic Analysis; Learning Styles Analysis. It is of benefit to arranging learning materials and even enhance the learning effects when determine online college student's entry abilities accurately, online college student's entry ability can be analysized from three parts: initial technical ability, object technical ability and attitude . Their initial technical ability can be defined by ways of "Crossed Fork Tree" and " Approach Step by Step", then, we can use "level analysis" to determine their object technical ability and settle attitude with questionair. Online college student's entry ability differ largely each other ,consequently we shouldn't arrange learning materials just begin from the "learning starting point "but from little below. Online college student's thinking are mature and learning purposes are rather clear. So, the curriculum objectives should be definite and concrete. We can adapt "Behavioral Objectives" model when setting the curriculum object. According to survey results, "self-enhance inner driver" is the main learning motivation for online college students, that is why should we take these into count in order to inspire student's interesting when designing curriculum. Online college students have some characteristics in the aspect of learning style according to survey results carried out by the author with his "synthesized questionair" : most online college students are "Kinesthetic Learners" and "Aural Learner" take the second place when they receive information; for the most part of them are "Active, Sensing, Sequential Learner". So, we should think more about online college student's characteristics mentioned above when design online curriculum environment and interaction as well as well other learning styles.
