Seamless Learning System Based on e-Book

Abstract

Seamless learning is an approach which learners can create relationships between their formal and informal learning. To support seamless learning, some seamless learning systems have been proposed. However, conventional systems are mainly based on the relationships and contexts for learners, such as location and time, while their teaching materials are not mentioned in detail. Because most of learners use some textbooks when they learn both inside and outside of the class, textbooks have an important part to support seamless learning. This paper describes a seamless learning system that based on the learners’ textbooks (teaching materials) and creates relationships between their formal and informal learning. Through this system, improvement of the learning environment using a wider range of information is expected.
