Paper Abstract:
|
This study proposes an social network service system encouraging students to learn from others. The system (1) provides structured individual ePortfolios and hyperlinks that enable students to quickly locate useful information created by others in various ways, (2) features user-friendly, intelligent search capabilities making it easy to search for keywords and identify other bright students (based on past reports, test scores, peer assessment, and so on), and (3) supports an array of assessment techniques at all levelstests, peer assessments, self assessments, instructor-designated best practices, ability to input comments from other students, hyperlinksthat not only encourage students to reflect upon their own learning but can be used to quickly identify the best students who consistently do excellent work. Actual trial use of the system demonstrates that it does indeed promote learning from others, and supports sustainability of learning and deeper robust acquisition of knowledge; not superficial learning based on memorization. |
