Geographic information system electronic learning development through the internet
Abstract:
Electronic learning has helped develop students’ abilities in a large number
of fields.
The objectives of this study are as follows: 1) to establish an electronic
learning system for geographic information system subject through the internet, and
2) to compare the students’ knowledge before and after using this electronic learning
system. The contents of the geographic information system are based upon the subject
of GIS537: Geographic Information System for Natural Resource Management at
Mahidol University. The population samples are the graduate students of the Faculty
of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University.
This electronic learning system has been developed through the following
processes: teaching and learning characteristics identification, web page design and
development, system installation, and system evaluation. It has been set up as an
automatic self-study service through the internet. The electronic learning system
evaluated by the system analyst and GIS experts has shown good results in web page
design, structure, and efficiency. The geographic information system contents are
good. In addition, the comparison of the knowledge of students, using t-test at the
level of 0.01, has shown that this electronic learning system could strengthen
understanding the geographic information system subject.
