摘要
长期以来,图书馆学情报学的教育者们一直致力于探索国际的学术交流和教育合作,以此提高教学课程和专业实践的质量。但目前仍存在很多阻碍,限制了传统的国际化教育的规模和发展,尤其是在发展中国家。该文介绍一个使用现有远程教育技术,在中国与美国之间建立一个面向研究生的知识管理课程的案例。该示范项目由美国富布莱特基金资助,综合利用学习技术、基于互联网的WebCT系统、视频会议、个人间的交流和阅读等多种手段,创建了一个国际化的虚拟学习空间。该文描述了师生们如何实现三个课程目标:(1)采用国际化的学习方式进行教学和学习;(2)双向交流;(3)知识管理。通过研究和实践得出如下结论:使用主动学习教学方法可以促使学生更加投入到学习过程;应用多种技术实现国际化交流;最大化地利用异步交流和同步交流两种方式,鼓励个人和小组学习;关注于更宽泛的多学科内容,促使更多人参与到国际学习环境中。
Library and information science educators have long sought to internationalize scholarship to enrich the quality of educational programs and professional practice.But many obstacles restrict the size and growth of traditional international education efforts,particularly in developing countries.This article presents a case study that uses emerging distance education techniques to deliver a graduate course on knowledge management in The Peoples' Republic of China and the United States.Sponsored by the U.S.Fulbright program,this demonstration project blends learning technologies,using Web-based WebCT software,videoconferencing,personal contacts and readings to create an international,virtual learning space.The article describes how faculty and students achieved the three course goals:(1) learning to learn internationally,(2) bilateral communication and(3) knowledge management.Findings and recommendations support the following conclusions:using active learning pedagogies that engage the students in the learning process;applying multiple technologies that can be supported internationally;maximizing the use of two-way,asynchronous and synchronous communication to encourage individual and group learning;and focusing on broad,interdisciplinary content to facilitate participation in international learning environments.
