Smart-Learning has been increasing with the growth of smartphone usage. Looking at previous research, this study established the concept of smart learning, current understanding of smart learning and the requirements for smart learning. Subsequently, It was established a concept of SNS, reviewing future education, self-directed learning by using social network, and suggests policies of vitalizing smart-learning by using SNS. In order to use SNS in smart learning, first it is proposed the need for smart learning laws and institutions, particularly with young people considering their emotions in order to expand what is proposed. secondly, the need for SNS usage to be socially and culturally relevant. third and finally, the need for strengthening information security with co-operation from the government.

A method for edge detection using K-means clustering is proposed in this paper. The method is performed through there steps. Histogram equalizing is applied to the image for the uniformed intensity distribution. Pixels are clustered by K-means clustering technique. Then Sobel mask is applied to detect edges. Experiments showed that this method detected edges better than conventional method.

This paper examines the relationship between education and marriage in South Korea, based on a 2 percent data of the 2000 census. The result found strong educational homogamy and wife-hypergamy over the five age cohort, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, and 61-70. For the primary, junior secondary, upper secondary and tertiary educational levels, the chance of marrying within the same educational level was stronger for primary and tertiary education. In terms of trends, the educational homogamy increased across the four cohorts. We note that while upward marriage was stronger for women (hypergamy), it decreased over time.

The English Conversation class as a required course in S university is designed as blended learning to reinforce English education. To identify the influence of this blended learning on its students' achievement, the research about what variables are related with it was conducted. Data analysis indicates that gender, major, military service, overseas stay, face-to-face attendance, quiz, and online attendance have an effect on the student achievement. However, the students' style of online learning--study place, study time, and study frequency--doesn't have any relationship with their achievement. Their satisfaction with the online study was questioned in the three areas such as instructor, contents, and system, among which only the 'system' area has an influence on their achievement.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the typology of response to unwanted sexual request, and find the characteristics according to the types. For this purpose, 332 college female students were surveyed. As a results, two group were identified through cluster analysis: assertive type and compliant type. Compliant type had more sexual experiences, consensual unwanted sex, reasons for sexual compliance. Furthermore, compliant type had more unstable attachment, rejection sensitivity, and loneliness. Implications related with prevention and education program for the high risk compliant group were discussed and ideas for health, education, psychological experts were suggested.

The Collaborative Cloud Storage is that several members of collaborating group together use data stored in a storage. Therefore, it is obvious that it is more complicated and important to protect data stored in the sharing storage than general cloud storage, not Collaborative Cloud Storage. this paper proposes a method for user authentication and data protection.

In this paper, when vehicle inspection is made, the check way is recommended based on the intelligent and personalized in the workplace, education, and other space-time according to the current situation. These results increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve performance. So we designed vehicle inspection recommendation system using ontology. Recommendation method is that components connected concept are shown according to weight value. if components are connected with other concept, the components are extended.

Recently, Modeling and Simulation, which have been received attention in various in dustries such as national defence, eduction and entertainment, have been researched, and related applications have been developed actively. Especially, it is focused on the to chnology of a virtual reality and a virtual simulation which represents the implementation technology for the simulation education related to the e-Learning industry. However, a solution is needed to fulfill the lack of technology and research about standardize d data elements which could be applied to virtual simulation technologies in common. Therefore, this article suggests the virtual simulation data elements to increase the educational effect of a virtual simulation and interoperability of data among LMS through reference to korean and international standards and the result of related area analysis. In other words, this article aims to define the expression of data element and to propose the guideline elements in the virtual simulation scope.

This study is to evaluate the morality of teenagers with regard to features of justice. On the basis of the findings, an online morality level test system is designed and implemented to help students understand themselves better and to increase moral maturity through this self-test method based on Kohlberg's Morality Development Level. The main purpose of this study is to help students test and evaluate their morality, and it will be contributed to slough off egocentrism and to orient a relationship based on a mutual respect by using the embodied system. If this system can be applied successfully, an effective improvement on students' further education guidance may be gained because the test and its results are made in the system simultaneously. Also this easy and fast test system can attain much more economical effects than a written test.
