Improvement of study logging system for active learning using smartphone

Abstract

In general, it is difficult for the professors of universities to provide all needed information to satisfy the students because they have different knowledge and interests. To solve this difficulty, our previous work suggested an interactive learning process, which use the students’ study records in order to improve the students’ learning motivation and the self-learning time. To improve the progress speed of a lecture and the efficiency of the Self-learning, we proposed an Active Learning System (ALS) using smartphone. In addition, we performed experimental evaluation of our ALS and showed that the proposed ALS can improve student self-learning and concentration. Learning system that has been proposed so far, was only to give a feedback a record of student’s learnings to lecturer. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to enhance the learning effects by logging a record of students’ learnings in the whole process of learning system.
