Design based learning by knowledge reuse: Towards its application to e-learning

In order to support self-directed or subjective learning it is important that learner's own knowledge are acquired and utilized in the learning process. It means that teaching material added by acquired knowledge should be different from each other. The learning process based on the teaching material is very personal and also a self-check for learning results is personal. Therefore it is necessary but difficult to support personal assessment manually because the self check or test for respective learners is different. To realize such a support system we propose a framework of design based learning by knowledge reuse and a method for implementing with an e-learning system. The essential and technical elements are made clear and our approach is explained from the feasibility and the reusability.
