dc.description.abstract | With the prevalence of information technology and Internet nowadays, choices are full of variety for tutoring, leaning, and interactions among teachers and students. For example, even the lessons are given in the entity classroom, they are usually collaborated with online discussion forum which allows the learning activity in the classroom being extended to any place at anytime. Also, E-mail has become a popular way.
However, caring and affection are also important factors for the successful learning. “Caring” has always been being the implicit and eternal-needed affection for human nature. Similarly, teachers’ caring for student is also a very important practice on education. Although “caring” is a kind of communication in the affection aspect, but if we can make good use of technology, trying to transmit the communication and exchanging the affection through technology, it will be much more efficient. Teachers can use the system-serviced mechanism to design and offer the more abundant content in the e-Newsletter which can possess the exclusive information for the specific student, then delivery it to every student. In this way, let all the students experience the teacher’’s caring affection at the same time. In stead of face-to-face interaction, technology is not necessarily to be alienated. Making good use of technology can help the tender sentiments being delivered most efficiently and unlimitedly.
The main purpose for the thesis is considering the e-Newsletter to be a media, to investigate whether the e-Newsletter can integrate the teachers’ caring and exclusive information for the specific individual into it. In these ways, the e-Newsletter may assist the teacher to convey exclusive caring and information with personal needs to different students; Furthermore, it enhances students’ learning motivation. Meanwhile, it tries to build up a composite and user-friendly system-serviced mechanism, as well as the customized message-composing model for unique individuals—the model of “Cake of Caring”, sharing the method of teachers’ message writing for the individuals. The ultimate goal of this thesis intends that students, teachers, and the education institute can benefit from such a system-serviced mechanism. | en_US |
