Abstract:
Due to the fact that Internet is widely developed, more and more people learn through network. Traditionally, an e -learning system is usually cooperated by Learning Management System (LMS), which is convenient for administrators to manage the course but difficult to get information there through. Until now, e-learning2.0 has become the main trend of current study. It indicates that users are being more interactive with each other. In this paper, we propose a novel information-on-demand e-learning system. The proposed system provides an audio-based information learning service, which lets us learn not only depend on text reading but auditory and visual learning. The proposed system searches and converts the customized information or user-specified articles on the Internet to audio, and no assistive tool is required on user sides. Via modern text-to-speech technology, the conversion can be done automatically. Moreover, our system provides the self-learning areas, in which the users can choose whatever material they like to upload. Our e-learning online platform has a large number of advantages including customized learning, convenience of acquiring information and abundant resources. The proposed system realizes the goal of ubiquitous and friendly access of the Internet for anyone from anywhere. We can learn wherever without time limitation.
