| dc.description.abstract | One-to-one technology enhanced learning research refers to the design and investigation of learning environments and learning activities where every learner is equipped with at least one portable computing device enabled by wireless capability. G1:1 is an international research community coordinated by a network of laboratories conducting one-to-one technology enhanced learning.
In this study, two parts that describe separated problems of applying one-to-one technology enhanced learning are described. In the part I, the author describes a platform, named “DCE”, which supports for one-to-one digital learning. DCE stands for digital classroom environment. DCE consists of four major modules, curriculum (including activities) module, user data module, communication module, and external interface module. Some examples of DCE, such as TIPS, AGQ, P3T, EduBingo and Joyce, are described and demonstrated. A hardware management system, EduCart, is designed and implemented to facilitate teachers to establish, deploy and manage a DCE easily. A case study was conducted in Da-Hu elementary school in Taipei for four weeks. Two classes, one grade two and the other grade four, were involved in the study. The teacher who was involved in the experiment stated that the EduCart reduces much of the tedious work of managing and establishing a DCE. Experimental observations showed that the teacher can deploy a DCE in a reasonable time. Questionnaires survey indicated that the DCE was satisfactory to the students.
In the part II, the concept of component exchange community emerged as a means of realizing one of the missions of G1:1 — speeding up one-to-one research through exchanges of research products, including software, subject matter content (learning objects), methodologies, and the like. It aims at building a platform for fostering international collaboration, providing a novel way for the research work by individual laboratories to be accessed by the wider research community and users, and, in return, increasing research impacts of these laboratories. Component exchange community motivates maintenance of good quality documentation. This work describes the concept and its model of component exchange community. Related models are compared and, as an illustration, a scenario of using component exchange community is given. | en_US |
