Part 6: Managing Open and Social EducationInternational audienceThe purpose of this study is to introduce a new paradigm called “Smart Learning” in South Korea. The adoption of highly advanced Information Technology (IT) in education has been a global issue for many years. The Smart Learning paradigm in Korea is a convergence concept of Ubiquitous Learning (u-Learning) and Social Learning. This study examined the Smart Learning education system through a SWOT analysis of Korean public education. Thus, this study provides strategic implications for the countries that are in the process of promoting the Smart Learning education program
Abstract. The purpose of this study is to develop and present security assessment models to manage the quality of Web² mobile environments. Web² is an evolved concept of web from Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 which means, diverse services and technologies including Real-time service, Social Network Services, Augmented Reality technology and Location Based Service are realized in mobile environment. However, compared to Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, few studies have been conducted for the security issues of Web² mobile environment. To be prepared for such issues, this paper reviews the characteristics of security in Web² mobile environments and present security assessment models in perspectives of Sensor-generated threats and Usergenerated threats. This study is significant in that it presents the directionality of the security issues to be discussed later in Web² mobile environments. This study will have implications for businesses and researchers preparing Web² mobile services and marketing.Keywords: Web² Mobile Environment, Security Assessment, Sensor-generated Threats, User-generated Threats IntroductionRecently, the development of mobile network infrastructures, mobile communication technologies, and terminal technologies; the advent of diverse applications; and the activation of application markets have led the global increases in the supply and use of smart phones. That is, with the evolution of mobile Internet networks such as WiFi and 3G that enable users to freely access and use the Internet anytime and anywhere; the upgrading of the performance of smart phones into all-in-one devices that enable document works and support replays of diverse multimedia; the advent of diverse applications that satisfy users' needs; the development of an operating system (OS) that supports the applications; and the activation of application markets where those applications can be bought and sold, smart phones are providing new opportunities for businesses and revenue creation in the saturated mobile market, where it has become difficult to create revenues with voice services [1]. However, diverse factors
Recently the development of ICT has a big impact on education field, and diffusion of smart devices has brought new education paradigm. Since people has an opportunity to use various contents anytime and communicate in an interactive way, the method of learning has changing. In 2011, Korean government has established the smart education promotion plan to be a first mover in the paradigm shift from e-learning to smart learning. Especially, government aimed to improve the quality of learning materials and method in public schools, and also to decrease the high expenditure on private education. However, the achievement of smart education policy has not emerged yet, and the refinement of smart learning policy and strategy is essential at this moment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose the successful strategies for smart learning in public education. First, this study explores the status of public education and smart learning environment in Korea. Then, it derives the key success factors through SWOT(Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) analysis, and suggests strategic priorities through AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Priority) method. The interview and survey were conducted with total 20 teachers, who works in public schools. As a results, focusing on weakness-threat(WT) strategy is the most prior goal for public education, to activate the smart learning. As sub-factors, promoting the education programs for teachers(W2), which is still a weakness, appeared as the most important factor to be improved. The second sub-factor with high priority was an efficient optimizing the capability of new learning method(S4), which is a strength of systematic public education environment. The third sub-factor with high priority was the extension of limited government support(T4), which could be a threat to other public schools with no financial support. In other words, the results implicate that government institution factors should be considered with high priority to make invisible achievement in smart learning. This study is significant as an initial approach with strategic perspective for public education. While the limitation of this study is that survey and interview were conducted with only teachers. Accordingly, the future study needs to be analyzed in effectiveness and feasibility, by considering perspectives from field experts and policy makers.
The mobile network has been developed from 2nd Generation (2G) to Long Term Evolution (LTE) network in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to examine the key factors which affect network development, and to recognize how the mobile carriers and users perceive the rapid change of mobile technology. This study focuses on a pretest to confirm the important factors from the Focus Group Interview (FGI) to Korean Telco representatives and mobile device users. The results show that mobile device users consider devices and contents as more important factors while Korean Telco representatives pursue various strategies and priorities for network evolution. The study will contribute to recognize the differences between providers and users for introducing the new mobile network. Since this paper only describes the pretest results, further research will be conducted with in-depth interview data and statistical approaches.
