Abstract :
From ecology perspectives, resource is a kind of living entity. We present the design lifecycle of resources in e-learning by the Deming spiral, as an organizational tool. The four steps in approaching to a sustainable development are being proposed: analysis, design, evaluation and optimization. And it is discussed that ecological factors of resources are role, property and architecture in e-learning. The three-dimensional model about ecological factors of resources is constructed. Learners are more, and some less, influenced by the context when performing a skill or learning. One of the most differences between individuals is the distinction between dasiafield dependencepsila and dasiafield independencepsila. Evaluation system of two-dimensional quality is applied into design. It is necessary for decrease entropy to reduce cognitive load.
