碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 92 === School-for-All provides a Web-based environment for everyone to teach and learn; that is, everyone can teach and share his/her knowledge as an instructor, or acquire knowledge from teachers and peers as a learner. Yet it is both time- and effort-consuming for instructors to operate an online course; furthermore, it is hard for learners to tell whether a course is operated well before it is taken. To help instructors manage their courses and to provide learners courses with good quality, it is a heavy work for course administrator to verify and evaluate all the online courses constantly. This paper designs two mechanisms: Course Management Mechanism, which assists administrators in monitoring courses’ process, courses’ status, and courses’ scheme verification, and Course Matching Mechanism, which assists learners in acquiring course’ information in accordance with learners’ interest and learning behavior. Two results were revealed after the implementation. First, Course Management Mechanism decreases administrator’s time and effort in monitoring courses’ process and promoting quality of course. Second, Course Matching Mechanism’s active provision of course information not only has learners acquire the information of courses which suitable to them, but also increases the chance of those courses which are not in learners’ interest lists to be taken.
