Abstract
Improving and stimulating teaching and learning are an interesting topic among educational researchers. As technology advances and with mobile technology and the Internet being used widely, it has become a vital tool for knowledge gathering and information sharing. It can foster new directives for teachers and stimulate the minds of learners, improving learning outcomes. However, the process of this triangulation of interaction has been overlooked in the Southeastern Asian region and requires an in-depth study into its culturally diverse background to identify its core problems and benefits. We propose Student Motivated Integrated Learning & Education with culture (SMiLE c) model in order to integrate education with web and mobile technology with an emphasis on Asian learning culture to promote active learning reduce overall costs and improves student learning outcome. We illustrate how this model can be implemented in Southeast Asian schools to improve teaching to suit students’ learning style during lessons through an alert system and motivates student to participate in discussions which can be used by the institution to identify student’s skill set early in the learning process.
