碩士 === 明新科技大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 94 === Computer assisted teaching/learning has been trend of researches due to the accelerated evolutions of information technologies. However, most of them do not address the needs of special education. Individuals receiving special education diversify in every aspect of their learning and development process. As a result, individualized instruction has been one of the major characteristics in special education. Since there is no common teaching material that fits all special education students, teachers usually have to develop courseware specific to each student (at various grades) of their own. This imposes extra workload to most special education teachers. Accordingly, the idea of having a common repository (learning contents management system, LCMS) for the self-developed courseware and help the sharing of such courseware among teachers seems to be appealing, especially to special education teachers. In this research, we propose and implement an intelligent learning contents management system, which incorporates the semantic web and ontology mechanisms. In addition, the LCMS also provides an interface that accepts output from the DALE computerized IEP (Individualized Educational Program) system. Through these mechanisms, special education teachers can more accurately find the appropriate courseware that is suitable for their students. In recent survey, the LCMS system that we implement now contains more than 1000 units of courseware, and has become the most accessed LCMS system in Taiwan’s special education community.
