As the knowledge society matures, not only distant, but also off-line universities are trying to provide learners with on-line educational contents. Particularly, high effectiveness of mobile devices for e-Learning has been demonstrated by the university sector, which uses distant learning that is based on blended learning. In this paper, we analyzed previous m-Learning scenarios and future technology prospects. Based on the proposed m-Learning scenario, we designed cellular phone-based educational contents and service structure, implemented m-Learning system, and analyzed m-Learning service satisfaction. The design principles of the m-Learning service are 1) to provide learners with m-Learning environment with both cellular phones and desktop computers; 2) to serve announcements, discussion boards, Q&A boards, course materials, and exercises on cellular phones and desktop computers; and 3) to serve learning activities like the reviewing of full lectures, discussions, and writing term papers using desktop computers and cellular phones. The m-Learning service was developed on a cellular phone that supports H.264 codex in 3G communication technology. Some of the functions of the m-Learning design principles are implemented in a 3G cellular phone. The contents of lectures are provided in the forms of video, text, audio, and video with text. One-way educational contents are complemented by exercises (quizzes).

Expectations and interests in blended learning are increasing as universities respond to the educational flow of transition to e-learning. This study analyzed the difference between the satisfaction of students in the first grade of radiology and the general characteristics of the subjects when applying blended learning. First, the satisfaction according to the class type was the highest in blended learning classes at 47.2%, followed by lecture room classes at 30.6% and remote classes at 22.2%. Second, the place where the remote lecture was watched by viewing the remote class according to the general characteristics was the highest at 94.4%. The most common medium for attending the remote class was using a PC, with 72.2%, and there was no significant difference in the remote class viewing method (p>0.05). Third, the appropriateness of the blended learning, "Remote lectures and lecture room lectures were properly conducted," had the highest score of 4.27±0.70. In addition, there was no significant difference in response to the teaching method according to gender and age (p>0.05). Fourth, the technology and system support,'Technical support and system support must be done when taking a remote lecture,' showed the highest score of 3.41±0.96. The lack of communication between professors and students,'In the remote class, communication between professors and students is insufficient' was the lowest with 2.88±1.00. In addition, there was no significant difference in the improvement of class according to gender and age (p>0.05). Through this study, it was intended to serve as a basis for the plans of blended classes and the policies of schools that introduced blended classes.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the effects on the students' academic achievement and satisfaction level in a Calculus course taught by two different teaching modes, blended learning and face-to-face learning. The comparison analysis was made for Calculus 2 course in H university in South Korea offered in the Spring semester of the year 2015. Calculus 2 is a Calculus course designed for the first year students who plan to choose their majors in Engineering. There were two sections of the Calculus course taught in a blended learning mode and one in a conventional face-to-face learning mode. All these three sections including e-learning parts were taught by the author. We discuss some meaningful differences in the effects by the two different teaching modes.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of using visual stimulation and gesture, namely embodied language learning, on learning achievement and learner's course interest in the EFL classroom. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed purpose, thirty two third-grade elementary school students participated and were assigned into four English learning class conditions (i.e., using animated graphic and gestures condition, using only animated graphic condition, using still pictures and gesture condition, and control condition). The research questions for this study are addressed below: (1) What differences are there in post and delayed learning achievement between imitating gesture group and non-imitating one and between animated graphic group and still picture one? (2) What differences are there in course interest between imitating gesture group and non-imitating one and between animated graphic group and still picture one? The Embodiment-based English learning system for this study was designed by using Microsoft's Kinect sensing devices. The results of this study revealed that students of imitating gesture group memorized and retained better words and sentence structure than those of the other groups. As for learner's course interest measurement, imitating gesture group showed a highly positive response to attention, relevance, and satisfaction for curriculum and using animated graphic influenced satisfaction as well. This finding can be attributed to the embodied cognition, which proposes that the body and the mind are inseparable in the constitution of cognition and thus students using visual simulation and imitating related gesture regard the embodied language learning approach more satisfactory and acceptable than the conventional ones.

In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of e-Learning, and attempted to identify factors affecting educational results. Based on survey data from 712 distance learning participants, we selected and verified factors affecting educational results through a correlation analysis and confidential test. Participants' scores were standardized and considered as a dependent variable representing educational effectiveness. Through several tests using the program AMOS, we suggest the most appropriate structural equation that can verify the causal relation of factors affecting the effectiveness of e-Learning. In result, the most important factor affecting score which is our measurement for educational effectiveness is job-possession. The fidelity has slightly direct influence to the score and the satisfaction has least indirect influence to the score.

This study is to find out the possibility of applying the Blended Learning which combines the advantage of face-to-face classroom instruction and e-Learning to design education. This Blended Loaming Model has five steps such as 'prepare, teach, show, interact, and collaborate'. It is designed by the learning decision points (performance outcomes, content stability and structure, audience size, and so on) and the characteristics of delivery methods(asynchronous, synchronous). This research is based on the learners' satisfaction data of each step. The number of the participants is 27 and a questionnaire with 21 items is administered. Ten items of them are designed with 5-point Likert scales and the rest of them ask learners describe the reason of their selection. The result show that learners are satisfied with the blended learning than the off-line classroom. It is expected that the blended learning can be a substitute of the off-line classroom for the effectiveness of design education.

인터넷을 기반으로 시간과 장소에 구애 없이 학습 가능한 이러닝의 보급이 빠른 속도로 확산되고 있지만 이러닝 교육서비스의 품질을 높이기 위한 체계적인 평가와 개선은 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 SERVQUAL모형을 이용하여 S대학에서 개설된 E과목에 대한 이러닝 교육서비스의 품질을 평가하였다. 동일한 E과목을 100% 온라인으로 수강한 학부생 79명, 대학원생 71명을 대상으로 성별, 연령별에 따라 SERVQUAL 조사결과를 비교하였다. 성별에 따른 서비스 격차점수에는 유의한 차가 없었지만, 연령별에 따라서는 서비스 격차 점수에 유의한 차이가 존재하였다. 연력별 차이의 원인으로는 연령이 높은 대학원생들의 경우 대부분이 직장을 가지고 있는 시간제(part-time) 학생들이기 때문에 학습내용의 현업 적용성을 상대적으로 중요하게 고려하기 때문으로 생각된다.
