웹(Web) 3.0 시대 이러닝 교수설계자의 역량에 관한 탐색적 연구

This study aims to propose a new set of competencies of e-learning instructional designers in the age of Web 3.0. Web 3.0, the most advanced next stage web in the evolution of the World Wide Web, is being predicted to be a critical drive for the future e-learning and pedagogical paradigm. Web 3.0-based e-learning seeks to provide more intelligent, intuitive, and efficient learning environments, and to support learners with more qualified and customized information, which would consequently produce valuable knowledge in more flexible ways. Instructional designers who design Web 3.0-based e-learning will need to have more sophisticated technological and educational competencies to create advanced e-learning. To discover their new competencies could be a prerequisite for the success of Web 3.0-based e-learning. In an attempt to answer these research questions, previous studies were reviewed to create a set of theoretical competencies required for instructional designers of Web 3.0-based e-learning. A three-round Delphi study with 12 professionals in academic and corporate fields was then carried out to come to a consensus on target competencies. Five types of major and sub-competencies emerged. The major types of competency were: general literacy competencies; basic instructional design competencies; technology understanding and utilization competencies; implementation and management competencies; and self-management competencies. The sub-competencies included: digital literacy competency; design and planning competencies that are appropriated for web standardization and accessibility; technology utilization competencies to maximize learning outcome; effective evaluation competencies; and road-mapping competencies for professional development. Study findings are expected to contribute to developing the competencies of instructional designers who can lead the innovative changes in e-learning and pedagogy in the new era of Web 3.0.
