The Development of Digital Teaching Materials in Vocational Education ─Using Electronic Engineering as an Example

Abstract

E-learning has broken the limits of time and space, brought a new face to teaching, and made learning more efficient and convenient. Many countries have taken the advantage of this “E-learning Fever” to promote their education levels. A great deal of schools, training centers, and cram schools have also actively participated in E-learning. They set up private platforms, and design digital teaching materials and courses, so that all sorts of digital materials can be found on market. However, most materials are noted for their quantity instead of their quality and are not designed under the regulations set up by a credible organization. As a result, some digital material designers are blamed for not improving the learners learning but wasting their time. The objective of the paper is to design a qualified digital teaching material which follows the certification regulation for digital teaching materials published by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan and is combined with our vocational engineering education, especially focusing on electronics.Keywordsvocational educationengineering educationdigital materials certification
