Design and application of the u-SM teaching and learning model for an efficient ubiquitous learning

Abstract

According to the development of the computer and communication technology, the educational environment is advancing to ubiquitous learning(u-Learning) which learners take an active part in studying contents, studying time and studying order . In order to increase effects of u-Learning, assistance and advice from the specialist is needed earnestly. Accordingly, if the scaffolding and the mentoring in the u-Learning are provided, studying efficiency would be maximized. This paper proposes u-SM(Ubiquitous Scaffolding and Mentoring) teaching and learning model which applies the scaffolding and e-mentoring. In addition, it embodies and applies the designed u-SM model. Then it examines it affects in studying achievements and attitudes of students and verifies the application possibility of the u-SM teaching and learning.

Ubiquitous learning model based on platforms of multi-screen TV (uLMTV)

“…A model for profile management [24] uses semantics in a simulation scenario. Joo and Park [25] propose a U-SM model (Ubiquitous Scaffolding and Mentoring) which applies online advising online and the necessary support for students who have just started their learning process, based on computers distributed around the campus and on a LMS platform. Nevertheless, technological aspects and other trends are not mentioned, and its context is limited.…”
