在以英文為第二學習語言的國家中，如台灣，針對英文詞彙的學習數位化，一直是如雨後春筍一般的出現，例如：Yahoo字典、套裝軟體或市面販售之書籍光碟等，主要是因為學習外語過程中最重要就是字彙的學習，但是字彙的習得卻是學習過程中最大的困擾的來源。然而目前學習者學習的方式，主要分成二大類：網路學習或購買書籍等，透過網路學習好處在於可即時學習，並取得最新的資訊，結合網際網路中豐富的資源來進行學習，但是在沒有網路連線下，學習者就無法繼續；購買書籍方式，內容更為封閉，只能呈現單一種學習方式，缺乏分享資源與記錄個人學習經歷，因此，目前這些學習的方式，都是無法有效提供學習者對於詞彙學習的成效。 本論文引用Wiki-Styled的概念，進一步延伸出Personal Wiki的觀念，透過個人化的定義將原有Wiki-Styled下的資料內容，依照個人所屬的社群、特定的角色或特殊的需求加以定義，提供個人化組織內容，幫助使用者節省時間就能快速得到自己所需的資料，並且將Personal Wiki概念應用於英語詞彙學習系統上，以支援詞彙學習內容透過Wiki-Styled的方式累積群聚智慧，再透過Personal Wiki的方式加以分類分群，最後配合支援On-line/Off-line與聰明的Data Service完成Client與Server之間的資料同步。 最後，本論文實作General Personal Wiki Data Service架構，著重在個人化Wiki與Wiki Server之間的Data Service，同時在Personal Wiki的概念下，以英文詞彙學習系統：myVLS（包括：Client Application與Server二部分）為範例實作出主從之間資料的同步、連線與離線均可以使用，並且能便利地安裝於簡易型電腦與不同作業系統上，解決數位學習系統需支援離線與連線學習與完成教材資料與個人學習履歷的同步之問題。 English is the most popular foreign language in Taiwan. Understanding vocabulary is very important for learning a new language, but it is very difficult for general learners [1] [4]. L2 learners may use tools to help learning English vocabulary , such as dictionary website, electronic dictionary, or E-learning System. But tools, such as E-learning and electronic dictionary, suffer some defects:（1）E-learning: It can’t support learners to learn vocabulary on Off-line.（2）Electronic dictionary: If you don’t continue to upgrade the contents, you can’t use new contents or resources. It can’t record learning portfolio for personal learner. The Wikipedia provides any user to edit all contents in the website, and accumulate community wisdom and knowledge to help people understand more domain knowledge. We call this style of content generation and sharing as Wiki-Styled. The thesis will discuss Wiki-Styled concept and add personal tag to extend original Wiki-Styled resources, personalize and classify community resource for specifically community’s members, and help users can quickly get personal data, organize personal contents and reuse organize Wiki-Styled contents to become Personal Wiki. The thesis use the Personal Wiki to implement a vocabulary learning system: myVLS, and use Personal Wiki accumulate community knowledge and support On-line/Off-line mechanism to help learner can continue on Off-line, and synchronize learning portfolio and learning resource on On-line. The myVLS is divided into two parts: myVLS_Client Appication & myVLS_Server. The thesis designed a General Personal Wiki Data Service to solve myVLS_Client Application running on On-line/Off-line and synchronize learning resource, personal learning portfolio and get shared resources of community.
