Campus-based universities have provided face-to-face instruction traditionally. But recently, it is becoming a trend that they provide blended learning which combines e-learning and f2f instruction. Therefore, traditional university has been installing the ICT related convenience for the faculty and students to use easily to their classes. The purpose of this study is to develop quality indicators of ICT-related support for proper blended learning in traditional campus-based universities. This indicators are used for measuring the quality of ICT-related services at university level for quality education. To this end, first, we reviewed literature about quality indicators of university evaluation and e-learning. Second,we did case study. We selected and analyzed one university for a case, And we identified what elements are perceived important to faculty for more efficient use of technology to their class. Third, we summarized all this data and established the quality indicators framework of ICT-related components for blended learning in campus-based universities. Then, these indicators were revised after the expert evaluation. And then 10 experts and practitioners scored importance rating. Finally, we sum them up to 17 indicators and 48 sub-indicators in three phases (input, process, output). Among them, e-learning related organization or body, usability of Learning Management System, and quality assessment system got the highest scores. These indicators are supposed to contribute to measure the quality of ICT-related environment for blended learning and to provide informations about what is required for efficient blended learning in the campus-based universities.

정보 통신 기술의 발전으로 교육 환경은 이러닝(e-Learning)과 모바일 러닝(Mobile Learning)이 지원되는 융합(convergence)된 네트워크 환경이 구축되고 있으며, 새로운 교수법을 필요로 한다. 학습자의 학습 환경(learning environment)에 따라 이러닝과 모바일 러닝이 상호작용(interaction)하여 학습 활동이 끊김없이(seamless) 수행되도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러닝과 모바일 러닝 환경에서 학습 활동을 수행하는 과정에서 상호작용하는 레이어를 설계한다. 각 레이에의 흐름(flow)에서 필요한 요소로 메타데이터(metadata)를 도출하고, 메타데이터를 다른 요소에서 필요로 할 때 재사용(reusable)할 수 있도록 하였다.

The smartphone allows learners to be involved in learning environments in which students actively study from anywhere and at anytime. Because learners can keep engaged in the environment where they can access to the internet, they can efficiently study in transit using various features and functions of smartphone. Smart learning is a unique learning based on mobility and functions of mobile digital devices including searching and sharing information and using various applications. For the effective use of smartphones in e-learning systems, the contents and learning management systems should be designed to meet effective teaching and learning principles, such as interactivity and collaborations. In smart learning, learning contents for effective learning need to be integrated with typical functions of smartphones and to develop small pieces of learning contents according to learning topics. In the case of learning management systems, it should reflect understanding of learners' environment using a PA agent program and provide personalized learning services.

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' and mentors' perceptions of Research and Education (R&E) programs in science high schools and science academies. The sample included 1,466 science high school/science academy students and 310 mentors. They filled out the survey, which consisted of the perceptions of R&E performance procedures (Selecting a topic, Learning topic-related knowledge, Designing and performing the research study, and Evaluating and presenting results), and R&E environment (Research period, meeting opportunities with mentor/subject, learning/experimental environment). The results showed that differences existed in the perceptions of R&E performance procedures and R&E environment, especially on selecting topics and learning topic-related knowledge stages. At the end of the paper, suggestions were included for improving R&E.

In the near future, we can access the information whenever we want, wherever we use because almost devices in ubiquitous environment are connected by either wired or wirelss networks. Especially, u-Learning which emphasizes on pedagogical property is enable to improve learning abilities. As researches of the previous u-Learning, there have been learning by mobile devices such as PDAs as well as the smart classroom which makes the remote students participate in the existing class. However, these researches have not satisfied pedagogical, cooperative and ubiquitous properties yet. Thus we suggest the framework for both local and mobile classroom, which can make the properties easy to satisfy.

The requirement for customized learning environments is increasing with the development of Web 2.0 technology To personalize services in E-learning, there are various functions available to the user. However, some components have fixed or inflexible functionality that limits what can be changed, and customization information has not been used for other purposes. In this paper, we propose an e-Space manager for the dynamic customization of learning environment control units. The proposed method can confirm which areas users have customized and how they have customized them. The advantage is that users can control their own learning environments, including not only the format, but also the content within the limits of the underlying system. The customization information is captured to confirm the competency model.

In this paper, we analyzed and suggested an educational strategy and features for project-based learning in smart learning environment. Smart learning environment is different of e-learning environment, therefore the educational strategy for smart learning is needed. In this paper, we conducted project-based learning for elementary school students in smart learning environment, and we analyzed the difference between a normal project-based learning and a project based learning in smart learning environment and suggested the educational strategy and the considerations through questionnaire, interview, and observation, Furthermore, we figured out factors that affected educational satisfaction of student. As a result, students thought that there is difference of smart project-based learning in some factors: technology and devices, software, and participation for learning. Also, we found main factors to affect educational satisfaction are two factors: technology and devices, and always-on.

The robot soccer simulation game is a dynamic multi-agent environment. In this paper we suggest a new reinforcement learning approach to each agent's dynamic positioning in such dynamic environment. Reinforcement learning is the machine learning in which an agent learns from indirect, delayed reward an optimal policy to chose sequences of actions that produce the greatest cumulative reward. Therefore the reinforcement learning is different from supervised learning in the sense that there is no presentation of input pairs as training examples. Furthermore, model-free reinforcement learning algorithms like Q-learning do not require defining or learning any models of the surrounding environment. Nevertheless it can learn the optimal policy if the agent can visit every state- action pair infinitely. However, the biggest problem of monolithic reinforcement learning is that its straightforward applications do not successfully scale up to more complex environments due to the intractable large space of states. In order to address this problem. we suggest Adaptive Mediation-based Modular Q-Learning (AMMQL)as an improvement of the existing Modular Q-Learning (MQL). While simple modular Q-learning combines the results from each learning module in a fixed way, AMMQL combines them in a more flexible way by assigning different weight to each module according to its contribution to rewards. Therefore in addition to resolving the problem of large state effectively, AMMQL can show higher adaptability to environmental changes than pure MQL. This paper introduces the concept of AMMQL and presents details of its application into dynamic positioning of robot soccer agents.

E-learning has increased on importance as people realize that the use of technology can improve the teaming process. Consequently, new learning environments have been developed. However, in general they are oriented to address a specific e-learning functionality. Therefore, in most of the cases, they are not developed to interoperate with other e-learning tools, which makes the creation of a fully functional e-learning environment more difficult. We analyses of total information security infrastructure of school affairs information system for secure ubiquitous campus.
