Abstract

This study aims to design and develop the e-learning platform that supports the gifted children education and to evaluate the usability of the system. Through the literature reviews related with instructional models for the talented children education, one effective instructional model was developed for the gifted education, consisting of 4 phases such as general research activities, strategic enrichment activities, creative enrichment activities, and self-reflection & evaluation. Based on this model, an e-learning platform was designed and developed. 55 gifted students and 16 teachers who had participated in the gifted class utilizing the e-learning platform for 6 months evaluated the usability of system. It was founded that the platform was considered as appropriate in instructional support(learning guide & preparation, learner information guide, project support, interaction support, evaluation support) and technical support (easiness, accuracy, look & feel), although there were statistical mean differences between teachers and gifted students in evaluating it.
