Realization of the Feedback Function to Using Underlining Activities Aiming at Promotion of the Reading Comprehension in e-Learning Instructional Material and its Learning Effect (<Special Issue>Studies on Practical Use of e-Learning)

Abstract

In many of the e-Learning systems in common use, the system provides support by identifying a specific learner from his or her learning history. However, this learning history includes things like the instructional material, access time for instructional material frames, and the rate of learning progress. There is a problem because it is impossible to comprehend the learning activities of the learner with respect to the instructional material content by examining the learning history. Then we developed a Learning Support System to act as an index to aid in promotion of the reading comprehension learning activity and reduce the load on learners, we analyzed the "Underlining Data" performed by the learners. This system works by having the learner underline the instructional material content, and then recording it. The data show that the learners rate of system usage and instructional material comprehension increase by receiving feedback on their underlining activities and its learning effect.
