Subprogram 1: Enterprise e-Learning Promotion

Objectives

1. Analyze the needs and opportunities of the industries that use e-learning.

The program will conduct investigations for e-learning on the status quo and the needs of the companies based on the top 1000 manufacturing industries and two kinds of key industries. Through investigations of the status quo and the needs of the companies, the key factors, such as the on-the-ground considerations, potential needs, and problems of using e-learning, will be understood. In addition to providing the e-learning operators market opportunities and strategies for overcoming the obstacles of using e-learning, the investigation is also an important reference and resource for establishing standards and promoting activities.

2. Foster e-learning activities in major industries/companies.

Fostering e-learning activities in domestic manufacturing industries and technology service industries, is expected to accelerate the tempo of companies leveraging e-learning, enhance the competitiveness of an enterprise knowledge-based economy, and develop the e-learning industry by raising diversified activities, establishing e-learning communities, and provide companies resources and information.

3. Enlarge results of e-learning and execute e-learning plan.

Taking advantage of all subprograms’ accomplishments to encourage fostering enterprise e-learning. Collect the newest plan execution data and periodically change exhibition content so that the whole society would benefit from it and everyone is on the same page.

4. Set up demonstration points of e-learning center, propagate e-learning to all people.

E-learning is not limited by time or space. There are plenty of resources that users can easily get through the Internet. There are no problems (such as requiring textbooks) which other traditional teaching methods may have. The establishment of demonstration points for an e-learning center would serve well for people who do not have easy Internet access elsewhere.

Task Items

1. Survey

Analyze the status quo of the application of e-learning in the top 1000 manufacturing industry enterprises. The governments in most countries use the percentage of achievement of the top 1000 enterprises as the statistical standard of an advanced index to promote policies. Therefore, this subprogram is planned to conduct investigations for participating in e-learning for the status quo of the top 1000 manufacturing industries from year 2002 to 2004. On one hand, the investigation can be a reference for national advanced indices in e-learning domestically and used to contrast of the status quo of Taiwan with Europe and America. On the other hand, it can respond to the e-learning industry to indirectly determine the needs of potential customers and enterprises and to provide market opportunities.

This subprogram will conduct an in-depth investigation into the status quo and the needs of the two key industries that are promoted in 2003, based on market analysis executed by the industrial learning networks subprogram. On one hand, the analysis can focus on the target industries and establish successful models to apply in promotion activities. On the other hand, it can provide feedback to the industries and help management teams explore market opportunities.

2. Hold all kinds of e-learning promotion activities.

After realizing the status quo of participating in e-learning of domestic enterprises, sequential and constant promotion activities are needed to raise an enterprise's will to participate in e-learning. We will lower the threshold, remove the obstacles, and accelerate the integration speed. This subprogram is planned to integrate the power and resources of communities to encourage enterprises to participate in e-learning through the promotional activities listed below:

• Efficiently use local resources and any other available resources and try to maintain low cost.
• The Successful Model Examination Activity’s survey results for 2003 reveals that the Successful Model Examination Activity is in the greatest demand by domestic enterprises, and that this project item can be matched with the successful models dug up through the industrial learning web, and assist in its further promotion, first, to attain expansion effects for the project results, and second, to attract more enterprises to invest in digital learning.
• Carry out the Yearly HR personnel interaction activity to encourage enterprises’ entry into digital learning, and as enterprises’ internal HR or administrative office personnel occupy critical positions, it should be possible to well-manage related personnel’s interaction and exchange.

3. Promote e-learning site—establish the users group.

To add functionalities to the main e-learning site; to promote the establishment of e-learning users group; to provide the channel for participating users to communicate to each other and therefore make the site more powerful.

4. Update the content exhibited in the exhibition room prepared for “the Program of E-Learning Industry Promotion and Development”

Periodically update the exhibition content and the presentation of the display to reflect the continuing development of the program. “Pushing Hands” magazine will be published and delivered to relevant person or places.

5. Hold a results presentation & seminar for the year.

This event is planned to organize the contents and the operational results of each program, and to hold a joint results presentation & seminar. It will expand the scale of the presentation and seminar by resource organizing and whole image packaging, to achieve mutual promotion, highlighting of success, and networking.

6. Establish e-learning demonstration center

Combine government and local capability together using existing resources such as museums, churches, local activities centers, and internet bars as teaching and learning sites and at the same time establish e-learning centers to provide users with a high quality learning environment.
