The core of an iCampus is iLearning. This article discusses the ways of improving the learning outcomes of students through the use of an iTeaching system, which is the interactive response system (IRS) in this study. This research adopted both qualitative and quantitative research designs. The quantitative part analyzed whether the IRS contributed to good academic performance of students and high level of course satisfaction. In this study, the courses that used the IRS at a science and technology university in Central Taiwan were set as the experimental group and the courses that did not as the control group. The experiment involved 19 courses (114 classes) and a total of 5,464 data entries were collected. As for qualitative part, it was used for method triangulation of the obtained quantitative results. The analysis of the information from interviews was used to figure out the key factors that influence the promotion of iLearning. The research results showed that whether it was a professional or non-professional course, students who attended courses that adopt the IRS tended to achieve higher grades and high level of course satisfaction. Furthermore, the effectiveness of improving students' academic performance was more significant for professional courses in comparison with non-professional ones. Second, instead of being teacher-oriented, iLearning was student-oriented and only an auxiliary tool for the curriculum. Third, teachers should improve their information literacy so as to implement iLearning better. Fourth, the iCampus implementation process consisted of data collection, analysis and prediction, and improvement actions. |
