Abstract:Studying satisfaction is one of the main goals in education business no mater in traditional learning environment or in the digital environment. The Social networking service, called SNS, offers a simple way to build social networks among a set of people who share interests, activities, backgrounds or life discussions. Until now, many well-popular SNS tool are easy to use for people no matter the one familiarizes with computer using or not. For example, Facebook (FB) is a common SNS application and owns enormous active users who daily login the platform long time. This program is institutive, convenient, user-friendly, excellent and easy to get into the swing of it. Motivated from this phenomenon, in this paper, we have developed a FBbased module and embed it into an e-learning platform which is a system facilitates whole learners and instructors performing learning activities from each other without the restriction of time and place. To show the contribution, an experiment including organizing participants, data collection, and data analysis is performed to highlight that the studying satisfaction in the experiment group is better than in the control group.
There is a strong relationship between sustainability and equality education, as it is emphasized in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To maintain learning effectiveness, learning attention is a valuable consideration. By continuously monitoring learners’ attention, the teaching and learning process can be measured and adjusted as needed. However, it poses a challenge for measuring attention in online learning environments where all participants do not interact face-to-face. To address this concern, this paper proposes a sustained attention measurement model (SAMM) that establishes attention tests to gauge learners’ sustained attention levels during asynchronous online learning. SAMM presents learners with real-time questions based on course content, collecting both their response time and accuracy. In an experiment conducted over an academic semester, we recruited 213 students from a private Taiwanese university of technology and analyzed their response time and accuracy rate to identify attention patterns in the online learning system. This analysis can provide valuable feedback for instructors to adjust their teaching methods.
Recently, learner participation is introduced for education because study effectiveness can be enhanced by participating, interacting and sharing. However, the spatial distance of e-learning makes obstacles to the interaction between teachers and learners. In addition, if the learning still remains the way of lecturing-scribing, the e-learning with learner participation cannot work with their advantages. In order to better effectiveness while applying learner participation in elearning, a Blog-based LRPBlog system is proposed. In the scheme, learner's loading regarding of platform operation is minimal since Blog is one of the most popular internet activities. For teachers, the hardware maintaining is unnecessary, so that the cost to develop LRPBlog is few. Furthermore, the mutual communications among whole partners can be achieved in very simply way. The experimental results show that the students in the class of LRPBlog-aided not only represent better effectiveness, but also win more in certification examination. Therefore, LRPBlog is adapted to enhance learning's participation in the elearning environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
