Abstract

In our previous work, we presented an interactive learning process, which use the students’ study records in order to improve the students’ learning motivation and the self-learning time. To improve the progress speed of a lecture and the efficiency of the Self-learning, we proposed an Active Learning System (ALS) using smartphone. In addition, we suggested the group discussion system of ALS. However, the previous interfaces for interactive learning had limited adequacy in maintaining participants’ concentration when their skill levels vary. To solve this problem, we proposed the interface of smartphone on our ALS to improve the learning concentration. In this paper, we show the performance evaluation of ALS that use improved human interface on the mobile devices. The evaluation results show that the interactive lecture using ALS increases the students’ concentration.
