The purpose of this study is to review a variety of e-learning use in medical education, and to analyze the e-learning related research in medical education, finally to discuss possibilities and limitations of e-learning in future. Subjects of this research are 46 papers published in Korean Medical Database, PubMed, MEDLIS, RISS4U. Content analysis of 46 papers have been conducted based on the period of research, research methods, research subjects, study personnel, effectiveness. The results are as follows. First, various e-learning, such as hyper-media, simulation-based medical education (SBME), game-based learning, web-based learning, computer-based test (CBT) are implemented in medical education. Second, 35 research (76.1%) has verified the positive effect of e-learning. Third, in the case of Korean studies, experimental studies (46.2%) in a short period (46.2%) of 50-100 people (42.3%) to take the most. As a result, it is reported a lack of theoretical discussion and insight on e-learning compared to foreign research. Educational paradigms are currently shifting from off-line to on-line, from traditional classroom lecture to e-learning. But e-learning is not a substitution to traditional teaching, but a matter of choice. The choice is up to medical professors and students.

As the educational media tends to be more digitalized and individualized, the learning paradigm is dramatically changing into e-learning. Existing on-line courseware gives a learner more chances to learn when they are home with their own PCs. However, it is of little use when they are away from their digital media. Also, it is very labor-intensive to convert the original off-line contents to on-line contents. This paper proposes education mobile contents(EMC) that can supply the learners with dynamic interactions using various multimedia information by recognizing real images of off-line contents using mobile devices. Content-based image retrieval based on object shapes is used to recognize the real image, and shapes are represented by differential chain code with estimated new starting points to obtain rotation-invariant representation, which is fitted to computational resources of mobile devices with low resolution camera. Moreover we use a dynamic time warping method to recognize the object shape, which compensates scale variations of an object. The EMC can provide learners with quick and accurate on-line contents on off-line ones using mobile devices without limitations of space.

With the reformation of organization and function of local office of education in 2010, consulting-supervision is introduced to schools as a system for education reform to improve the quality of school education. However, a dedicated on-line portal system that can provide integrated management on the functionalities of consulting-supervision has not been implemented yet. To successfully operate consulting-supervision in schools, it is also needed to provide an on-line consultant education system, that can support teachers to train themselves as a supervision-consultant. In this paper, we introduce an on-line consultant training system that provides various learning activity tools for consultant training based on Learning Activity Management System(LAMS) and Action Learning. The system consists of Management stage, Analysis stage, Solution stage, and Action stage for the empowerment of consultants' expertises, and is named as MASA. Brain-writing, SWOT(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threads) analysis, 5Whys, decision grid, PMI(Plus, Minus, Interesting), and black chart techniques were developed in MASA as learning activity tools for consultant training.

The on-line and mobile communication technologies provide an environment to make users share information on the rove. However learning on a file received from on-line or mobile internet environment is able to read only, According to this, users cannot use various learning methods to make multimedia contents for learning like coloring and underlining considerable parts. Also, in case of storing, it cannot be stored in a standard file format HTML. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest a new learning platform to be able to change text contents in a web documents and implement a prototype system to process learning system in on-line environment

Science education in elementary school is mostly based on solving investigative tasks conducted by small groups on the basis of the inquiry activities such as experiments, observations, etc. Students should be able to draw conclusions from experiments and observations through their collaborative interactions by exchanging ideas. If learners use the advantages of Blended-Learning as a new pedagogical method comprehending merits of both off-line and on-line learning to complement off-line activities throughout the entire process, the interactions among them may be reinforced, and they would take part in the inquiry learning more actively. Accordingly, the proposed system can help children foster science inquiry learning effectively by using on-line communication facilities to arrange learners' diverse opinions and thoughts coming from off-line inquiry activity process. The result shows that the system enhanced learners' interest about science inquiry learning and improved their learning achievements by exchanging diverse opinions via the Web communication facilities.

This study explores factors to facilitate web-based collaborative learning and the effect of learning, based on the PBL(Problem Based Learning) from the constructivist approach in e-learning. A research model, using the key variables such as situations, interactions, and systems, was developed. In order to test this proposed model, experimental design and post-survey was conducted to the learners who took on-line and off-line course with team project. In the research model, situation category was divided into instructor's support, unstructured problem, and self-directed learning. Interaction category was divided into three factors; 'interaction between learners', 'interaction between learner and instructor', and 'interaction between learner and technology'. System category was divided into.monitoring and incentives. As a result, it was found that collaborative learning can be improved by situations, interactions, and systems, and the effectiveness of learning can be improved by situations and interactions in PBL.

Securities companies which faced with severe competition should not only attract new customers but also retain their on-line customers. This study examines the factors affecting loyalty of on-line stock trading customers. The research model based on the previous studies was established and the research hypotheses were generated. The test results based on the data gathered from 87 users of on-line stock trading services show that user satisfaction, learning cost, transaction fees, and reputation influence customer loyalty. User satisfaction, learning cost and reputation are positively related to customer loyalty, whereas transaction fee is negatively related to customer loyalty. The results also support that information quality and system quality are positively related to user satisfaction. The hypothesis that transaction fee is related to user satisfaction is not supported. There is no significant information to say that security risk is related to user satisfaction. It is considered that the study results may help managers to increase customer retention.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare blended practicum with clinical and lab combined e-learning between cooperative and individual group on learning outcomes. Method: A total of 63 junior Nursing students were recruited from C University in G city from May, 2012 to June, 2012. Ten hours lab practicum for two weeks was provided for both two groups during the period of adult nursing practicum. Prior to blended practicum, e-learning was conducted. For cooperative group, two hours off line team learning with a tutor for eight weeks was provided, in other hands, for individual group, any off line team learning was not provided and self study on line was not evaluated by the tutor. Results: The result of ANCOVA showed that critical thinking and self directed learning were significantly improved in the individual group compared to the cooperative group (F=-18.15, p<.001; F=28.12, p<.001). In other hands, clinical competence was significantly higher in the cooperative group than in the individual group (F=16.61, p<.001). Conclusion: Through development of self-leaning facilitating online contents, the blended practicum combined e-learning could be effective in critical thinking, self-directed learning and clinical competence. Further studies about e-learning strategies of off-line learning are still needed.
