Bi-directional education system based on position pattern technology

초록

A bidirectional interactive education becomes one of the important issues in computer-supported education area. The current computer-supported education system is often composed of an interactive whiteboard (IWB) for a teacher and personal computers or tablets such as iPad and Android tablets for students. Even though a tablet is good for providing various multimedia materials to the students, however, it cannot support the sufficient functionality to capture their feedbacks, especially handwriting inputs. This paper introduces a bidirectional interactive education system based on a position pattern technology. The proposed system consists of an IWB for a teacher, and digital pens and smart papers for students. In the proposed system, a teacher can communicate interactively with his/her students via an IWB and smart papers. Therefore, it is believed to be very useful framework for the computer-supported collaborative learning either in a classroom locally or in distance learning over the Internet.
