25. E-Learning Problems Unfamiliarity Lack of self-motivation Lack of time
Feelings of isolation
Lack of content sharing (no standard and individual development)

26. Student motivation affect e-learning
Learning is work, not entertainment
E-learning is even more work than learning in a classroom environment
Many students are accustomed to learning only in the traditional classroom environment and find it hard to learn “on their own”.

33. Overview of Thailand eLearning Initiative
Skilled human resource will become very important to all countries in the 21st Century.
We cannot depend only on the traditional classroom-based training. We need to exploit the Internet to deliver our training courses to complement classroom training.
We currently have many international strategic eLearning initiatives, e.g. U21Global, UKeU, eChina, TheLearning Federation.

34. Project Phases Phase 1 – Organize seminars and workshops
Phase 2 – Implement meta-data system for Thailand
Phase 3 – Develop elearning content based on learning objects
Phase 4 – Develop interoperable question and test items

35. This Project has the following objectives:
To enable the participants to adopt and implement international elearning standards in their elearning systems
To familiarize participants with the capability to develop learning objects based elearning content
To allow participants to develop question and test items that can interoperate in different test engines

36. Essentially, there are 4 groups of eLearning standards.1 2 3 4
