Abstract
With the progress of ubiquitous computing technologies, ubiquitous learning is capable to give learners more effective and personalized education than the traditional one. On the other hand, safety education is necessary
for children since accidents and crimes against them happen increasingly in recent years. The children might need to protect them by themselves. It is important for the children to learn safety knowledge through experiencing real
dangers, which are not always realizable because it may hurt the children. I n contrast, a virtual experience is possible and popular to educate the children such as using computers; however, only virtual experiences might be
insufficient for children to practice what they learnt in the real world. Therefore we propose a novel approach by
fusing a real world and virtual space to let a learner have dual experiences in both real and virtual worlds. We design a platform of dual experiencing l earning and develop a safety education support system based on the platform. Finally, we verify effectiveness of using the system through experimental results and the results are systematically analyzed with semantic differential and principle component analysis. The analyzed results show dual experiencing learning with our system is especially effective for a motive of self learning finally.
