Dr. Weijane Lin is a Professor at National Taiwan University’s Department of Library and Information Science and currently serves as the Division Director of e-Learning at Computer and Information Networking Center and a research fellow of Center for Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Robotics. She joined the faculty as an assistant professor in February 2010. She has a research and teaching background in higher education in multimedia studies and is dedicated to exploring the use of media technology to support learning in various fields. She holds a Ph.D. in Informatics from Kyoto University, Japan, and has extensive research experience with intense publications and more than 20 research and educational projects, mainly funded by the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology/National Science and Technology Council. Dr. Lin is passionate about the accessibility and usability of media technologies and how they can be of use to improve people's quality of learning experiences. She actively promotes and involves with several online learning initiatives about learning management systems locally and globally. Since 2023, she became the Editorial Board of the British Journal of Educational Technology (Top 4% in Education & Educational Research).

Weijane received her BS and MS degrees in Agricultural Extension from National Taiwan University. After her studies in the applications of educational technology in extension education, she realized the importance of the instructional message and media design and has been inspired to further explore the research fields. She received her Ph.D. in Informatics from the Division of Multimedia Application with the Dept. of Intelligence Science & Technology, Graduate School of Informatics at Kyoto University in Japan, under the supervision of Dr. Michihiko Minoh. In her 4-years doctoral studies, Weijane designed and developed systematic supporting mechanisms, from instructional to information systems, to facilitate the interactivity and interaction in international distance education. Her dissertation was selected by the Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence to publish in the special issue of the Journal of JSAI as good work of Human Interfaces and Computer Supported Learning. Since her appointment at NTU, Weijane has been devoted to research on the use of media and information technology in the informal learning contexts of libraries and museums. She based her research on the pragmatic perspective of library media specialists and the theoretical foundation of resource-based learning, and she utilized human-computer interaction design and research methodology to sustain her systematic exploration of media technology to support and expand the various information education and outreach services of library and information institutes.

She teaches courses related to multimedia studies, such as Human-Computer Interaction (LIS5066), Needs Inquiry (DS5102), User Behaviour Research (LIS8025), Information Communication Systems (LIS5069), Science Communication (LIS5105), Media Presentation and Preservation for Digital Archives (LIS5071), eBook & Digital Publishing (LIS5081), Museum Learning (LIS7018), and Museum Visitor Studies (LIS7024). Her commitment to education has been widely recognized as she received several teaching awards, including NTU Outstanding Teaching Awards and supervisor awards from both academic and industrial sectors. Dr. Lin's research and teaching interests center on performance support design using multimedia for user experiences and human-computer interaction. Besides teaching, she is also a multiple-time awardee of the NTU Academic Research Performance Grant, and since 2019 she has been awarded as a Merit-paid Faculty for her performance in academic and interdisciplinary research.
