具全人與整合意義之通識教育網路學習平台「全人發展網」（e-HO）－－與e-Learning互補的學習環境

A Holistic and Integrative Learning Environment e-HO Complementary to e-Learning for General Education

在這資訊快速發展的世代中，如何解決知識體系的支離破碎和學生大眾化所延生的各種相關問題，已經構成當今高等教育所面對的重大挑戰。由於過去幾十年來純粹著眼於傳統通識課程之改革所做的諸般努力已顯示不足以順利達成目的，我們提議設立並持續經營一個符合現今學生特質的建構式全人化網路平台──以中原大學的全人發展網（e-HO）為例──來連結通識教育中的不同領域以解決現在的需求。它與傳統充塞許多互相難以跨越之課程的教學平台e-Learning 存在有本質上的差異，後者可視為許多彼此獨立之縱向課程纖維叢，而前者則將做為它們之間的水平橫向聯繫，以互補的角色來共同完成一個整合且流通的知識網絡。我們將從質性敘述與量化分析兩方面，分別呈現這種在當今大學生網路次文化氛圍中經營的網路平台對於全人教育和跨領域學習所帶來的重要意義和影響。透過針對647位大學生所做的全人發展網問卷調查（the e-HO survey），結果顯示其對於解決上述需求具有相當正面與實質的果效，值得當今高等教育工作者進一步的參考與研究。

How to cope with the issues related to the fragmentation of knowledge and the massification of students has become one of the major challenges to higher education in this Information Age. As the mere curricular reformations in general education since decades ago have been realized to be inadequate for the end, we suggest that a constructivist, holistic and transdisciplinary platform, as exemplified by Web e-HO established in CYCU, connecting the whole spectrum of general education and suitable for mass university students today be constructed and cultivated to meet the need. It is characteristically distinguished from the conventional cyber course platform or e-Learning wherein many courses are packed and delivered individually with various levels of interface that are difficult to crossover. Hence, while e-Learning could be regarded as a bundle of longitudinal fibers separated from one another, e-HO is to serve as providing the horizontal connections in a complementary sense to facilitate an integrative and wholesome knowledge network. The holistic and transdisciplinary impacts of a web like this under the climate of the contemporary Internet subculture influencing mass university students today shall be reported qualitatively and analyzed quantitatively as well through the e-HO survey conducted among 647 university students. The preliminary numerical results turned out quite positive in relating to the purposes of the whole endeavor and deserved careful reflections by concerned educators in higher education today.
