Analysis of an Online Educational System for Early Childhood Teachers

The paradigm of online education has been changing recently as seen with the emergence of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and Open Educational Resources (OER). Accordingly, this study conducted a Delphi analysis with experts to identify which factors deserve consideration when designing online educational systems for early childhood teachers. In the Delphi analysis, two areas, Usability Assurance (UA) and Technical Assurance (TA), were analyzed with seven and six elements identified for each area respectively. This study suggests system elements for ensuring the success of an online education system. It will also be meaningful for identifying further elements supporting the operation of such a system.
