Abstract
In Japanese higher educational institutions as in universities, many studies and practices on e-learning have been reported, but the state of trial and errors are still continuing. Thus, we propose the construction of an e-learning system incorporating not only with learner's consciousness but also with their learning style. Our proposing system is consistent of three individual parts and one integration phase. The first part is composed of tools, methods, and facilities used to provide the e-learning environment. The second part is composed of theoretical or practical works on learning styles. The third part is composed of learner’s consciousness factors on information security which we have studied so far. In the integration phase, the components of e-learning discussed in the first part are evaluated from learning style related psychological aspects. In the paper, we propose a trial version of e-learning system which includes several types of content with proper links to information security factors and to learning styles.
Highlights
In the early 2000s, just after the e-Japan was proposed, research and argument on e-learning have been actively conducted in Japan
In Japan, universities or junior colleges students select classes from various motives, and not everybody is interested in the lecture contents nor enthusiastic to acquire knowledge, and it is difficult to deal with learners' motives and learning styles with conventional e-learning systems
The third part is composed of learners’ consciousness factors on information security which we have studied by conducting questionnaire survey to some Asian countries’ university students during past several years
Summary
In the early 2000s, just after the e-Japan was proposed, research and argument on e-learning have been actively conducted in Japan. Learning systems using e-learning has been established to some extent in several areas such as education of employees in companies, video learning materials in language studies, so-called preparatory schools, etc. The difference between the situation of companies, preparatory school and language teaching material learning and that in university is thought to be the learning motivation of learners. As one of methods of the active learning which have been actively advocated recently in Japan, flipped or inverted teaching is adopted and practiced in some educational institutions. Learners can select subject or item to study at any time and from any place, and an important advantage of e-learning is that it can help to respond the diversity of each learner’s motivation and his/her learning preference
