  • Recently, as the number of smart devices (such as smart TV or Web based IPTV) increases, the way of digital broadcast contents is changed. This change leads that conventional broadcast media accepts Web platform and its services to provide more quality contents. Based on this change, in education field, education broadcasting also follows the trend. The traditional education broadcasting platforms, which just delivered the lecture in one-way, are utilized the Web technology to make interaction between teacher and student. Current education platforms, however, are insufficient to satisfy users' demands for two-way interactions. This paper proposes a new remote collaborative learning platform which able to provide high interactivity among users. Based on new functional requirements from original use case, the platform provides collaborative contents sharing and collaborative video streaming techniques by utilizing WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) technology. The implementation demonstrates the operability of proposed system.

  • The purpose of this paper is to find the differences of personality types and learning styles of general students(69) and the gifted in mathematics(66) and sciences(66). 132 subjects, whose academic achievements are in top 1 % level in elementary schools, were selected from the gifted center of the university in Busan. MMTIC(Murphy-Meisgeir Type Indicator for Children) was used to classify personal style inventory(E-I, S-N, T-F and J-P). Adapted form of Grasha & Reichmann's learning style was used to classify 3 pairs: dependent-independent, competitive-collaborative, avoidant-participant. In this paper, we were mainly concerned with the differences of learning styles, and personal types of three groups according to as indices, functions and temperament. One of our results was that there were differences of personality types between general students and the gifted in mathematics and sciences according to as indices, functions and temperament. And there were differences of learning style between three groups according to as dependent-independent, and avoidant-participant.. The gifted in mathematics and sciences prefer to independent and participant learning style in comparison with general students. Finally, there were relation of personality types and learning styles. According to functions and temperament of MMTIC, SF (sensation-feeling) and NF(intuition-feeling) type students prefer to collaborative and participant styles in comparison with ST (sensation-thought) and NT(intuition-thought) type students. And NT(intuition-thought) type students prefer to avoidant styles in comparison with SF(sensation-feeling) and NF(intuition-feeling) type students.

  • Keeping in line with the recent changes in the information technology environment, the online learning environment that supports multiple users' participation such as MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) has become important. One of the largest professional associations in Information Technology, IEEE Computer Society, announced that "Supporting New Learning Styles" is a crucial trend in 2014. Popular MOOC services, CourseRa and edX, have continued to build active learning environment with a large number of lectures accessible anywhere using smart devices, and have been used by an increasing number of users. In addition, collaborative web services (e.g., blogs and Wikipedia) also support the creation of various user-uploaded learning materials, resulting in a vast amount of new lectures and learning materials being created every day in the online space. However, it is difficult for an online educational system to keep a learner' motivation as learning occurs remotely, with limited capability to share knowledge among the learners. Thus, it is essential to understand which materials are needed for each learner and how to motivate learners to actively participate in online learning system. To overcome these issues, leveraging the constructivism theory and collective intelligence, we have developed a social bookmarking system called WeStudy, which supports learning material sharing among the users and provides personalized learning material recommendations. Constructivism theory argues that knowledge is being constructed while learners interact with the world. Collective intelligence can be separated into two types: (1) collaborative collective intelligence, which can be built on the basis of direct collaboration among the participants (e.g., Wikipedia), and (2) integrative collective intelligence, which produces new forms of knowledge by combining independent and distributed information through highly advanced technologies and algorithms (e.g., Google PageRank, Recommender systems). Recommender system, one of the examples of integrative collective intelligence, is to utilize online activities of the users and recommend what users may be interested in. Our system included both collaborative collective intelligence functions and integrative collective intelligence functions. We analyzed well-known Web services based on collective intelligence such as Wikipedia, Slideshare, and Videolectures to identify main design factors that support collective intelligence. Based on this analysis, in addition to sharing online resources through social bookmarking, we selected three essential functions for our system: 1) multimodal visualization of learning materials through two forms (e.g., list and graph), 2) personalized recommendation of learning materials, and 3) explicit designation of learners of their interest. After developing web-based WeStudy system, we conducted usability testing through the heuristic evaluation method that included seven heuristic indices: features and functionality, cognitive page, navigation, search and filtering, control and feedback, forms, context and text. We recruited 10 experts who majored in Human Computer Interaction and worked in the same field, and requested both quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the system. The evaluation results show that, relative to the other functions evaluated, the list/graph page produced higher scores on all indices except for contexts & text. In case of contexts & text, learning material page produced the best score, compared with the other functions. In general, the explicit designation of learners of their interests, one of the distinctive functions, received lower scores on all usability indices because of its unfamiliar functionality to the users. In summary, the evaluation results show that our system has achieved high usability with good performance with some minor issues, which need to be fully addressed before the public release of the system to large-scale users. The study findings provide practical guidelines for the design and development of various systems that utilize collective intelligence.

  • The purposes of this study are to examine the predictability of variables related to SNS intention to use in collaborative learning and provide some new implications. Based on Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model (TRAM), we hypothesized that optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, insecurity as personal disposition variables, subjective norm as a social variable, and perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as cognitive variables would predict SNS intention to use. For this study, 274 'Share Leadership' students in E university completed surveys and it was analyzed by multiple regression analysis. The results of this study showed as follows. First, optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and subjective norm predicted perceived ease of use. Second, optimism, insecurity, subjective norm and perceived ease of use predicted perceived usefulness. Third, subjective norm, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness predicted SNS intention to use. From this, it is revealed that positive technology readiness predict much more than negative technology readiness do and the role of teacher and peers is very important.

  • 폭발적인 정보의 흐름 속에 놓여 있는 지식정보화 시대에서는 필요한 정보를 선택하고 가공하여 새로운지식의 창조, 전달 및 확대 재생산 할 수 있는 능력이 요구되고 있다. 지식정보화 시대가 필요로 하는 창의적 인재 육성을 위한 새로운 교육 형태와 패러다임으로 e-러닝이 유력한 솔루션으로 부각되고 있다.e-러닝은 교수자 중심의 일방향 교육이 아닌 학습자가 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 필요한 학습을 하는 양방향 교육 방식이나, 현재까지는 학습 콘텐츠의 단순 반복 학습에 그치고 있어 기존 교실 수업 방식에 비해 학습효율이 떨어지는 점이 이 분야 발전의 장애요소가 되고 있다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 온라인상에서 학습 과제를 여러 명의 학생들이 상호 의존하여 공동으로 해결함으로써 학습 목표를 달성하는 형태의 협력 학습에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. e-러닝 협력학습에는 단순히 학생들을 그룹화하여 함께 학습하도록 하는 것은 교육 효과면 에서 비효율적일 수 있으며, 학생들의 자발적인 참여와 협력을 유도할 수 있는 교수모형을 적용하여야 하며, 개인의 책임감을 근간으로 한 상호 의존적 과제 해결 활동이 이루어져야 한다. 본 고에서는 협력 e-러닝 학습을 위한 연구사례와 기술 동향들에 대해 살펴본다.

  • e-러닝이 세간의 관심을 모으는 이유는 교육의 패러다임이 바뀔 수 있다는 점이다. 교육은 모든 분야에 필수적이고, 교육 방식이 바뀐다는 의미는 새로운 시장이 만들어진다는 것이다. 하지만 온라인 교육이 가질 수 있는 장점들을 제대로 활용하지 못한다면 새로운 시장이 만들어진다 하더라도 쉽게 시들어 갈 것이며, 최근에 나와 있는 e-learning과 관련된 사이트들을 보더라도 전자상거래나 쇼핑몰 혹은 검색, 포털 사이트처럼 빠르게 성장할 수 없다 우리는 학창 시절에 어떠한 친구를 만나느냐, 혹은 어떠한 짝꿍을 만나느냐에 따라서 본인의 학습 성취도는 매우 다르다는 것을 경험해 보았을 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 학습자들에게 보다 쉽게 짝 찾는 방법과 짝 짓는 방법을 제공하여 학습자들간의 상호협력을 이루어 문제해결 능력과 새로운 지식을 만들어 갈 수 있도록 하였으며, 짝 프로그래밍을 통해서 학습자는 최적의 짝꿍을 만나 지속적인 상호작용으로 흥미와 집중을 유지하여 적극적이고 완전한 학습이 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다. 끝으로 본 연구가 웹 상의 학습자들에게 서로간의 대화를 통해 에러의 원인을 효과적으로 찾아 바로 잡을 수 있는 짝 프로그래밍을 제공했다는 점에서 새로운 학습 시스템의 개발방법을 제시했다고 결론지을 수 있다.

  • 정보통신 기술의 발전은 양방향의 참여 문화를 형성하고 있다. e-러닝의 환경도 웹 기반의 환경에서 모바일 환경과 방송과 융합된 네트워크 환경으로 변화되며, e-러닝도 학습자의 직접 참여를 요구하는 교수-학습 교수법을 제공하고 있다. 다양한 네트워크 환경에서 원하는 정보를 생성, 추출하고 다른 사람과 의사소통할 수 있어야 한다. e-러닝의 발전으로 복합적 사고와 고차원적인 인지 사고를 위해 학습자 주도의 개별적자율적 학습, 협력적(collaborative)학습을 제공할 수 있다. 즉, e-러닝의 웹 기반에서 발전하여 무선 네트워크 환경으로의 변화가 학습 환경도 시간적, 공간적으로 자유로울 수 있는 모바일 환경(mobile environment)에서 방송과 통신이 융합되고 나아가 유비쿼터스 환경(ubiquitous environment)으로 전환되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 e-러닝의 콘텐트를 다양한 디지털 기기에 따라 재사용하고 재구성하여 제공할 수 있도록 메타데이터 맵핑 구조에 대해 연구하고자 한다.

  • Portfolio has recently come to gain more attention from school as an alternative evaluation tool and a self-reflective learning tool for learning. After literature reviews about the case studies on the use of portfolio in higher education including both universities in Korea and abroad, this study attempted, first, to analyze the current e-portfolio system running in Kyung Hee University for the undergraduate students starting from the spring semester, 2010, and then, suggested the ways the system can be more actively utilized among the students, and simultaneously, acquiring more interest and participation from both the faculty members and the school administrators. The data collected from the survey and reflective journals of the students suggested 1) more user-friendly, easy-to-edit version of the system, 2) more diverse modes and functions of the system which, therefore, are able to adjust well to the specific and unique features of subjects or majors of the students, and 3) collaborative learning environments among the students and between the students and the faculty members from which students can share, participate, interact with each other, getting useful feedback from those co-learners and faculty members. Eventually the study aimed to enhance the recognition of the participants about the importance of portfolio as a learning tool for self-reflective learning and authentic evaluation of the students.

  • Video-demand learning through E-learning continuously increases on these days. However, not all video-demand learning systems can be utilized properly. When students study by education videos not matched to level of their own, it is possible for them to lose interest in learning. It causes to reduce the learning efficiency. In order to solve the problem, we need to develop a recommendation system which recommends customized education videos according the study levels of students. In this paper, we estimate the study level based on the history of students' watching behaviors such as average watching time, skipping and rewinding of videos. In the experimental section, we demonstrate our recommendation system using real students' video watching history to show that our system is feasible in a practical environment.

  • It is important to understand how pre-service teachers perceive e-learning because their prior-experience with e-learning will have a great impact on their teaching after the graduation. Pre-service teachers (401 students) with cyber learning experience, which is a form of e-learning, were selected in 2004 in May and June. Survey was conducted regarding the instructional experience (working hours, tasks and evaluation, satisfaction about cyber learning and its academic achievement, difficulties and suggestions) and instructional methods (instructional activities, frequencies of interaction, strategies of interaction, collaborative activities, behaviors in the group instructional activities for knowledge development). The results are pre-service teachers tent to spend similar v slightly less working hours for cyber learning, similar or slightly less satisfaction level for the instruction and the academic achievement. It was interesting that female students were more negative than males students, considering female students have been more active in online discussion traditionally. Logical presentation of contents and instructional strategies for the cyber learning were the most wanting suggestions. E-mails and BBS for reference materials were the two most used functions in the online learning. The amount and types of tasks were satisfactory. Students did not interact freely during the group activities, they reported they did not learn much through the group activity. During the group work, they consider they do their roles with responsibility while they have slightly negative responses toward other members' contribution in the group activity. Off line meeting is strongly suggested.
