Designing a "Three Rings" Theory Framework for Electronic Schoolbag

Abstract

This paper designs a "Three Rings" theory framework for electronic schoolbag. This model is based on three important principles of designing e-schoolbag. The first principle is that e-schoolbag should be applied to classroom through providing the service for teachers. The second principle is that e-schoolbag should integrate the key elements of the teaching system into a whole through putting the activities in the center. The third principle is that e-schoolbag should be applied to the smart learning environments. "Three Rings" theory framework is composed of inner ring, middle ring and outer ring. The inner ring is the sequence of activities. The middle ring is the teaching system composed of social network, resource network, tool network.The outer ring is the source of adaptivity driven by data which have five functions: perception, processing, analysis, evaluation, recommendation.
