Today the computerization in overall civil life is globally progressing, and software plays a central role in all interdisciplinary areas of society. These changes of information environments lead to the change of values and paradigm shift, and the change of Korean educational policies is also happening. As human-machine interaction is becoming ubiquitous, code literacy is going to play an important role before long. Despite these transitions, information education in universities in Korea focuses on just driving application programs. In this paper, we explore overall educational system and curriculum of universities in Korea. And we present educational factors corresponding to educational levels and contents. Presented five factors coupling three educational contents and three educational levels may be dedicated to design curriculum.

There has been increasing demand of hypermedia as computing and educational environment change. Most authoring tools developed recently have various built-in functions., but they are not enough to create hypermedia program or easy to learn. Even though teachers might try to develop hypermedia program with existing authoring tools, they usually come to face with the difficulties of creating new nodes, adding new data, or keeping user's activity records. Therefore, this study investigated to present a prototype of Educational Hypermedia Editor that can be conveniently used in hypermedia programs. According to the theories of courseware design, instructional design, learning theory, and hypertext and hyperemia, design strategies for the study were selected. Based on the analysis of the characteristics of domestic authoring tools as well as foreign authoring tools, the Educational Hypermedia Editor that has authoring and executing mode was designed and developed. Because the Educational Hypermedia Editor was designed for information retrieval CAI(Computer Assisted Instruction) materials, it is expected that the Educational Hypermedia Editor will be extensively used in the urea of social science classes, investigation studies, and information processing studies.

PURPOSE. A survey was conducted to assess the impact of a TED-like educational session on participants' willingness to accept dental implant therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Volunteers interested in having information about dental implant therapies were recruited and asked to complete a two-part survey before and after an educational session. The initial survey elicited demographic information, self-perceived knowledge on dental implants and willingness to this kind of treatment. A "TED-style" presentation that provided information about dental implant treatments was conducted before asking the participants to complete a second set of questions assessing the impact of the session. RESULTS. The survey was completed by 104 individuals, 78.8% were women and the mean age was $66.5{\pm}10.8$. Before the educational session, 76.0% of the participants refused dental implants mainly due to lack of knowledge. After the educational session, the rejection of dental implants decreased by almost four folds to 20.2%. CONCLUSION. This study proved that an educational intervention can significantly increase willingness to accept treatment with dental implants in a segment of the population who is interested in having information about dental implant therapy. Furthermore, educational interventions, such as TED-like talks, might be useful to increase popular awareness on dental implant therapy.

Korean Government conducted "a research for establishing the integrated construction information classification system" and suggested the classification system for the first and second level in terms of the complexity in May, 2001. The Ministry of Construction and Transportation announced a standard of the integrated construction information classification system using previous research in August, 2001. Since 2005, many BTL projects have been constructed for the educational facility. However, there is mixed official standard of the system for the educational facility. Moreover, it is difficult for the SPC to use the current "integrated construction information classification system", since the item in the educational facility cannot be easily located in the current system. Thus, this research suggests an efficient maintenance system for the educational facility. Two classification systems, space-oriented and element-oriented systems, are suggested to increase efficiency of the classification system.

Support policies such as education and training for re-employment of career-interrupted women are being implemented, but they are not being effectively employed. In addition, it is difficult for women with high educational background to re-enter, such as having to revise their previous careers or plan a new career for re-employment. In the previous studies, there was insufficient research to solve fundamental problems for re-employment, such as promising jobs with high employment opportunities. Therefore, when developing a curriculum for women with career interruptions, it was felt the need to select educational occupations that would be helpful in finding employment by age and educational background of the trainees. In this study, data on vocational training education of women with career interruptions were used to analyze the educational occupations with the highest employment rate by age and educational background.

Blockchain has tamper-free, so many applications are developing to leverage tamper-free features of blockchain. MIT Media Labs proposed BlockCerts, educational certificate blockchain System, to solve problems of legacy certificate verifications. Existing educational certificate blockchain Systems are based on public blockchain such as bitcoin, Ethereum, so any entity can participate educational institute in principal. Moreover, the exisitng educational certricate blockchain system utilizes the integrity of blockchain, but the confidentiality of the educational certificate is not provided. This paper propose a digital certificate system based on private blockchain, name HyperCerts. Therefore, only trusted entity can participate in the private blockchain network, Hyperledger, as the issuer of digital certificate. Furthermore, the practical byzantine fault tolerance is used as consensus algorithm, HyperCerts reduce dramatically the latency of issuing digital certificate and required computing power. HyperCerts stores the hash value of digital certificate into the ledger, so breach of personal information by malicious entity in the private blockchain is protected.

Learning analytics, or educational data mining, is an emerging field that applies data mining methods and tools for the exploitation of data coming from educational environments. Learning management systems, like Moodle, offer large amounts of data concerning students' activity, performance, behavior, and interaction with their peers and their tutors. The analysis of these data can be elaborated to make decisions that will assist stakeholders (students, faculty, and administration) to elevate the learning process in higher education. In this work, the power of Excel is exploited to analyze data in Moodle, utilizing an e-learning course developed for enhancing the information computer technology skills of school teachers in primary and secondary education in Greece. Moodle log files are appropriately manipulated in order to trace daily and weekly activity of the learners concerning distribution of access to resources, forum participation, and quizzes and assignments submission. Learners' activity was visualized for every hour of the day and for every day of the week. The visualization of access to every activity or resource during the course is also obtained. In this fashion teachers can schedule online synchronous lectures or discussions more effectively in order to maximize the learners' participation. Results depict the interest of learners for each structural component, their dedication to the course, their participation in the fora, and how it affects the submission of quizzes and assignments. Instructional designers may take advice and redesign the course according to the popularity of the educational material and learners' dedication. Moreover, the final grade of the learners is predicted according to their previous grades using multiple linear regression and sensitivity analysis. These outcomes can be suitably exploited in order for instructors to improve the design of their courses, faculty to alter their educational methodology, and administration to make decisions that will improve the educational services provided.

The purpose of this study is to define the concept of media information literacy and to develop educational content. To achieve the purpose of the study, literature analysis, interviews with field experts, and surveys with teacher librarians were conducted. The field experts recognized the media as a tool to use information and recognized information problem-solving skills, reading comprehension ability, media functions, case activities, and affective domain as the areas of media information literacy education. The teacher-librarians thought that information and media literacy which include its competency and educational content are more important than the digital literacy. As a result of the study, the concept of media information literacy was defined as knowledge, skills, and attitudes including the concepts of literacy, media literacy, information literacy, and digital literacy. In addition, educational contents of media information literacy were developed so that 'participation in democratic society', 'classification of media tools and contents', 'basic human rights', 'skills', 'digital tool manipulation' and 'information problem solving process' can be combined and applied in context.
