ABSTRACT：
Educational resources and activities generated by teachers/trainers and students/learners, as well as, by teacher-tostudents and by students-to-students interactions constitute core knowledge assets of educational communities, which are worthy to be organised, managed, shared and reused effectively. Based on this thesis, a number of international initiatives have emerged that aim to facilitate open access to, sharing and possible reuse of digital educational resources and activities. Nevertheless, most of the existing Open Educational Resources (OER) initiatives are designed more as “digital repositories of educational resources”, rather than as “Knowledge Management” (KM) systems that would bare the potential to support the organization and sharing of educational communities’ explicit knowledge of educational practice (exploring connections between practice and outcomes at run-time) and formal knowledge for educational practice (exploiting best practice designs) Within this framework, the presentation provides an overview of the Advanced Digital Systems and Services for Education and Learning (ASK) Research Unit research and technology activities towards open access to Education and Training. The presentation is arranged so as to propose and demonstrate an integrated approach supported by tools and services that could contribute towards Taiwan’s e-Learning Vision and Strategy based on the concept “Digital Archives as the Base; e-Learning as the Function”.
