Empirical Study on the Enhancement of the Quality of Cyber Education

With the society growing more information-oriented, educators have started researching on a new education paradigm called cyber education. Research is currently lacking indicators as to what will be the achievements, advantages, and disadvantages of operating cyber education. Therefore, this paper outlines the objectives of such research. First, this paper discusses the concept and features of cyber education by conducting a preliminary study and reviews its differences with conventional, face-to-face education. Indicators for measuring the efficiency of cyber education and satisfaction of students as the education target are then constructed. Finally, through empirical analysis by measuring the quality level and satisfaction of students taking cyber education, areas for improvement are identified.
