Since e-learning is conducted based on the learner's autonomy, motivation to continuously participate is crucial for success in e-learning. As the number of adult learners participating in lifelong education increases, it is necessary to study learner participation and the motivating factors. Drawing upon the Expectancy-Value Theory and Self-Regulated Learning Theory, this study analyzed the influence of motivational factors (value, costs, cognitive regulation, and scheduling) on learner participation. An e-learning program was implemented on MoodleCloud, and learners completed a survey before going through the program. Regression analysis was conducted using the survey response data along with the participation score, calculated using the log data. The results of the analysis demonstrated that value and scheduling significantly influenced learner participation, with gender differences found in value. This means that as adult learners perceive higher value in the e-learning program and possess better scheduling skills, they are more likely to participate. These findings can be utilized in developing teaching and learning strategies for both learners and instructors, ultimately helping to prevent dropout in e-learning.

In this study, in accordance with the research trend that the learner's emotions expressed positively or negatively in mathematics learning or the learner's beliefs and attitudes toward mathematics learning affect the results of mathematics learning, the learner's emotions and affective factors are analyzed in the learner's own learning. A power that can be adjusted according to a goal or purpose is needed, and I tried to explain this power through meta-affect. To this end, the meaning of the definitional and conceptual factors of meta-affect was explored based on prior studies. Affective factors of meta-affect were viewed as emotions, attitudes, and beliefs, and conceptual factors of meta-affect were viewed as awareness, evaluating, controlling, utilization, and monitoring, and the meaning of each conceptual factor was also defined. In this study, the conceptual factors and meanings of meta-affect in terms of using them to help in learning mathematics by controlling them, beyond the identification or examination of the characteristics of the affective factors, which are meaningfully dealt with in the field of mathematics education.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of using learner-created DST to communicate academic information on the creativity and flow of university students. The sample consisted of 100 undergraduate students who were assigned to either the DST group or the expository instruction group. The DST group created digital stories, and the expository group were taught using an expository instructional method. An achievement test, the Creativity Personality Scale (CPS), and the Flow State Scale (FSS) were used to collect data. The results showed that the achievement scores of the DST group were higher than those of the expository group, and the scores on the patience sub-factor of the CPS of the DST group significantly differed from those of the expository instruction group. Finally, the scores on the seven sub-factors of the FSS of the DST group differed significantly from those of the expository instruction group. The findings of this study suggest that the DST can be applied as teaching and learning method in a university class.

The goal of this study was to establish the evaluation method, which consist of the principle, factor, procedure and checklist, on environmental camp program and then to support staffs of environmental camp for decision-making to improve pre-program and develop new one. The main principles of the evaluation method established in this study were Hierarchical holism and Open inter-communication. First, hierarchical holism focused at the interaction among six factors, which were divided by 3 steps : 1) goal(and objectives) 2) learners and sites 3) activities, staffs and media. Second, open inter-communication could be defined a feedback process among all program participants : manager, staff, teacher, volunteer, learner and so on. The evaluation checklist had been developed of 10 comprehensive items and 30 factor-items at the preliminary step but some items were assessed some complex or duplicate in the result of 3 case studies. The suggested checklist was diminished to 5 comprehensive items and 25 factor-items. Several alternatives, which included specifing learners and objectives, developing site-oriented program and establishing the evaluation sheet were suggested for improving environmental camp program.

The purposes of the study were to identify satisfaction and achievement of learning by female learner's characteristics, and to suggest measures to improve quality of education in internet education programs. In order to determine the educational effectiveness associated with the characteristics of learners, this study attempted to employ two way approaches by observing the degree of achievement for learning, which represents an instructor-oriented approach, and the degree of satisfaction for education, which represents a learner-oriented approach to enhance the quality of internet education for female learners. As an approach to evaluate the educational effectiveness, the degree of achievement in learning(Tyler's classical approach), and the degree of satisfaction for education (Scriven's consumer-oriented evaluation model) were utilized. A survey form was developed by the researcher after reviewing the various tools originated from Boshier, Cross, Gagne and Choi, and distributed to a panel of judges that examined the content validity of the instrument. The sample for the study consisted of 160 female learners from three universities in Seoul and capital area, and the survey form was used to collect data for this study. The SPSS WIN program was used in analyzing the data and a series of statistical tests were conducted including frequency, percentile, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, multiple regression, and factor analysis. The statistical significance level was 0.05. The following conclusion were drawn from this study of female internet education. First, it was evident that female internet learners tend to utilize information from internet, and this can be interpreted as participants' positive attitude, and voluntary participation. Second, educational facilities and services should be improved in the future, because the level of satisfaction was low in these areas compared to curriculum and educational methodology. Third, the participating factors influenced by the level of satisfaction for education of learner characteristics were the 'formation of inter-personal relationship and willingness to change' and the 'needs for education on internet', thus appeared that both social and educational needs influenced the level of satisfaction for education. Fourth, the degree of achievement in learning was higher in the order of 1) attitude 2) function 3) knowledge, thus, attitude change was the most important in achievement of learning. Fifth, the individual background that influenced the level of achievement in learning were age and educational experience. As for the individual level of achievement for learning, the younger and more educated group were more satisfied.

Providing appropriate interactions between learner and e- Learning system is an essential factor of a successful e-Learning system. Although many interaction functions are employed in multimedia Web-based Instruction content, learner experience a lack of similar feedbacks from educators in real- time due to the limitation of Human-Computer Interaction techniques. In this paper, an emotion recognition system via learner facial expressions has been developed and applied to a tutoring system. As human educators do, the system observes learners' emotions from facial expressions and provides any or all pertinent feedback. And various feedbacks can bring to motivations and get rid of isolation from e-Learning environments by oneself. The test results showed that this system may provide significant improvement in terms of interesting and educational achievement.

As Edutech arises which is integrating IT technology into education, many related attempts have been tried on music education area. The focus has been shifted from the teachers to the learners, and this makes the personalized learning emerge. The learner's proficiency is an essential factor to support the personalized learning. The chord fingering is an important technique in piano learning. In this paper, a personalized learning tool for piano chords has been suggested. And then, several utilization ways have been described by analyzing the chords patterns. Specifically, the difficulty of the chords and the proficiency of the learner are derived from the accumulated practicing log data of the users. More effective learning way of the chords has been presented through hierarchical clustering based on chords similarity. Furthermore, the suggested approach where only the practicing log data are used lessens the learner's burden to measure the proficiency and the chord's difficulty without additional efforts like taking tests.
