Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study dealt with a method to make active learning from class to self-study by three proposed methods. One of them is naming active note taking (A-note), which actively makes note taking at class. In this method, in order to reduce passive note taking, let students actively write out the information by the students' words and diagrams to handouts distributed in advance. In that lecture, teachers will use a slide format material called active image (A-img) which includes abundant pictures and movies.
The other is a system called active textbook system (A-txt) which promotes students' self-study by adding digital contents to a general paper textbook and browsing with a mobile smart device. In this study, iOS application using augmented reality (AR) technology was developed, in order to be easier and effective the conversion of general books into digital educational materials. As a result, by those methods, I found a possibility that students actively learn from lecture to self-study.
