Objectives As cyber university grow into a major educational institution for lifelong learning, there is a growing demand in the field for the development of support elements for teaching and learning that considers the context of cyber university classes and the characteristics of learners. Therefore, this study paid attention to the course content among the supporting elements of teaching and learning, and tried to reveal practical ways to promote self-directed learning for cyber university’s adult learner through guidelines.
 Methods The development of specific guidelines was carried out in seven steps. First, a literature analysis was conducted to understand the context of offline universities and other cyber universities, and a research plan was established based on the definition of self-directed learning for cyber university students. Next, the guideline content was organized into stages of analysis, development, and validation. In-depth interviews with A Cyber University staff were conducted to examine the development and utilization of teaching plans and key elements. From the analysis results, three design strategies were established and used as the basis for the guidelines. The guidelines consisted of the introduction and main body of the class, the necessary elements and writing methods for the conclusion, and the expected outcomes of self-directed learning. These guidelines were ultimately validated by the staff and instructors at A Cyber University.
 Results As a result of the study, several findings emerged. First, through in-depth interviews with the staff, it was discovered that the current status of course plan development and the need for provision at A Cyber University were related to the instructors' teaching styles, teaching-learning elements, and the necessity for guideline development strategies for both instructors and learners. Additionally, an analysis of exemplary lecture plans from A Cyber University revealed that the lecture plan design could be composed in various ways, depending on the characteristics and content of each subject, the intentions of the lecturer and instructional designer, and the implementation strategy based on the overall structure of introduction, body, and conclusion. Second, three strategies for designing lecture plans aimed at promoting self-directed learning for cyber university students were derived, which served as the basis for determining the teaching and learning elements and framework for the lecture plan development guidelines. Third, the final guideline were derived focusing on the elements to be included in each area of the introduction, main body, and conclusion of the class, their definitions, writing methods, and expected effects in terms of self-directed learning.
 Conclusions Based on the above research results, suggestions for future research and implications for lifelong educational institutions that mainly utilize cyber universities and online lectures were presented.

Latent Profile Analysis of Protean and Traditional Career Orientations and Career Competencies: Focused on the Cyber University Students in South Korea

This study aimed at identifying latent profiles based on career orientations and career competencies and examining differences in subjective career success(employability), objective career success(salary, hierarchical position), and affective organizational commitment. Cross-sectional data were collected from 356 working adults enrolled at one Korean cyber university, and latent profile analysis was conducted. First, participants were classified into four latent profiles: ‘traditional and competent(7.6%)’, ‘mixed/averaged(82.8%)’, ‘protean and competent(4.2%)’, and ‘traditional and incompetent(5.4%)’. Our findings highlight that a mixed and averaged orientation is dominant among Korean adults who work and study. Second, one-way ANOVA was conducted to test the differences in career outcomes according to the generated profiles. The ‘Traditional and competent’ type perceived greater employability than the ‘traditional and incompetent’ group, and the ‘traditional and competent’ group exhibited stronger affective organizational commitment than the ‘protean and competent’ profile. Based on the findings, the importance of developing career competencies was discussed regarding continuing education for working adults.

The Difference of User Satisfaction and Net Benefit of a Mobile Learning Management System According to Self-Directed Learning: An Investigation of Cyber University Students in Hospitality

The purpose of the study is to investigate the features affecting user satisfaction and net benefits of a mobile learning management system (LMS) for cyber university students working in the hospitality industry using the quality factors from the updated DeLone and McLean information system success model. Also, the study focuses on finding whether there is a difference in the perception of the cyber university’s mobile LMS depending on self-directed learning (SDL). A series of theory-based hypotheses were examined through structural equation modelling using empirical data collected from a sample of 328 students in cyber universities in Korea. The results indicate that information quality, system quality, and service quality have a positive effect on user satisfaction, and the subsequent user satisfaction has a positive effect on net benefits. The multi-group analysis revealed that all the paths were significant for high SDL groups, whereas for low SDL groups, a path between information quality and user satisfaction was not statistically supported. These results suggest that a differentiated strategy based on SDL level is needed to improve user satisfaction and the net benefit of the mobile LMS. The results are expected to provide implications for the stable operation of mobile LMSs for cyber universities.

관광영어 교육프로그램 개선을 위한 참여자 인식의 주관성 연구 : A 사이버대학교를 대상으로

English is the most widely used language for international travel. Many universities recognize the importance of tourism English as ESP(English for Specific Purpose) and offers the classes in the department of tourism. Teaching tourism English should be practical and planned to meet the expectations of learners. To do so, students’ learning motivation should be identified based on their subjectivity. Although several researches have studied learning motivations, most of them are quantitative researches for general off-line university students with similar and limited variables from previous studies. However, it is necessary to approach from the phenomenological perspectives to analyze true motivations of learners. This study aims to analyze online learners’ motivations based on their subjectivity applying Q-methodology developed by Stephenson (1953). As a result, the learning motivations of cyber university students for tourism English were categorized into four types including Type 1: Overseas trip, Type 2: Intrinsic motivation, Type 3: Utilization in business, and Type 3: English proficiency improvement.

The Moderating Effects of Group Work on the Relationship Between Motivation and Cognitive Load

<p class="3">Semi-formal learning is used to describe learning that is directed towards the goals of a formal learning institution but outside of the learning structure of a specific class. Students studying online may form semi-formal groups to increase their knowledge of the content by interacting with other learners taking the same class. This study of cyber university students (n = 2042) involved looking at the relationship between semi-formal learning groups and levels of germane load. Furthermore, this study sought to understand what role group work plays in moderating the relationship between motivation and germane load. This study found that highly motivated students had higher levels of germane load, and that group work negatively moderated that relationship. In other words, while all students benefited from group work, students with lower levels of motivation benefited more than students with high levels of motivation. This research fills an important gap by showing the value this type of group work can have for all learners, particularly those who may otherwise struggle.</p>

The Role of Motivation in the Use of Lecture Behaviors in the Online Classroom

Aim/Purpose: Extant research provides conflicting information regarding the role that lecture behaviors play within e-learning lectures. This study sought to understand what role motivation plays in increasing the likelihood that students engage in lecture behaviors in general, and how motivation affects the differing types of lecture behaviors. Background: The growth of online learning has increased the importance of video lectures as a means of delivering content. As with offline lectures, students may find it useful to adapt and change the way they interact with lectures to improve their learning. One possible approach that allows students to effectively manage any challenges they have in understanding a lesson is to initiate lecture behaviors to alter the flow of information. Methodology: In the present study, a survey was administered to cyber university students (n = 2434) in order to examine at the relationship between intrinsic goal orientation (a type of motivation) and levels of lecture behaviors. Contribution: This research fills an important gap by showing the effects that motivation can have on how students interact with video lectures and suggests the ways in which students engaging in specific lecture behaviors do so in order to gain a better understanding of the content. As lecture behaviors are an important part of how students are interacting with this important and new method of teaching, it is important to understand which characteristics make students more likely to engage in lecture behaviors. Findings: Students who have higher levels of motivation are more likely to engage in lecture behaviors. These lecture behaviors may include splitting attention between media sources, pausing the video lecture, rewatching parts of the video lecture, and diverting attention to obtain better audio or visual clarity. Recommendations for Practitioners: Instead of just tracking students’ viewing progress on each course lecture video, instructors should further endeavor to measure their students’ use lecture behaviors in relation to online course lecture content. Doing so can provide valuable insight into students’ level of engagement with course lecture materials and overall levels of intrinsic goal orientation. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers need to start factoring in how student characteristics interact with instructional engagement when investigating online learning. Impact on Society: Improvement in our understanding of online learning helps improve the quality of instruction, which provides a net gain for society. Future Research: This paper is a broad overview using a survey, so future research should focus on a more detailed analysis of lecture behaviors, possibly using controlled experiments.

The Relationship between Narcissism and Problematic Social`Networking Sites (SNS) Use: Mediating Role of Attachment Instability

Social Networking Sites (SNS) are used by more and more people and have many positive aspects of human life, but they are also causing addiction enough to interfere with everyday life. Especially in Korea, more and more children and adolescents are indulged in SNS, and adults also have many side effects of SNS such as neglect of work, relationship problems, and attention seeking behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between implicit narcissism and social networking services addiction, mediated by attachment instability. The study comprised 185 cyber university students (69 males and 116 females) and the mean age was 40.13 ± 10.66 years. The instruments of collecting data are comprised of Covert Narcissism Scale, Experience of Close Relationship, and Social Networking Service Addiction Tendency. Simple correlation showed that implicit narcissism and attachment instability were highly correlated with SNS addiction. Also, the regression analysis showed that attachment anxiety mediated between implicit narcissism and SNS addiction. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
