  • A Flip Blended Learning Approach for Epub3 Ebook-Based Course Design and Implementation
    EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education ISSN: 1305-8223 (online) 1305-8215 (print) OPEN ACCESS 2018 14(1):123-144 DOI: 10.12973/ejmste/79629 A Flip Blended Learning Approach for ePUB3 eBook-based Course Design and Implementation Tina Pingting Tsai 1, Jyhjong Lin 2*, Lendy Chaoyu Lin 2 1 General Education Center, Hsuan Chuang University, TAIWAN 2 Department of Information Management, Ming Chuan University, TAIWAN Received 10 July 2017 ▪ Revised 2 September 2017 ▪ Accepted 26 September 2017 ABSTRACT Using digital and internet technologies in recent years has not only provided more education opportunities outside classrooms, but has also gained many attentions as a new theme for prospective learners to acquire knowledge in a more convenient way. In such a new paradigm of the so called e-Learning, many efforts have been made to build web-based learning systems that provide controllable processes of learning activities with desired curricular contents. From the learning perspective, this means that desired contents are delivered with spectacular ways to catch the attention of the learners or to enhance their comprehension on these contents. For this need, we present in this paper a flip blended learning approach for designing, lecturing, and assessing academic courses with ePUB3 eBooks used in learning activities for delivering desired curricular contents. Further, for justifying its validity, the approach employs also an analysis about the effects of using our ePUB3 eBook-based flip blended learning model in academic course learning. For implementation, the approach is applied for the design and instruction of an ‘Object-Oriented Concepts’ course for freshman students at a Department of Information Management.

    ISFJ 政策フォーラム 2014 発表論文 ISFJ2014 政策フォーラム発表論文 電子書籍の発展のために ～統一アプリの導入～ 明治大学 山田智明研究会 産業② 木本翔平 ２０１４年１１月 1 ISFJ 政策フォーラム 2014 発表論文 要約 現在の日本の電子書籍市場は多くの問題を抱えており、欧米、とくに電子書籍市場が広まっ ているアメリカなどの国に比べて発展が遅いと言われている。中でも消費者が電子書籍の利用 に消極的である原因としてコンテンツ不足と高すぎる価格設定という問題や、電子書籍ストア が乱立しており欲しい書籍を探しづらい、価格の比較がしづらいという利用者からの不満もあ る。以上から、日本の電子書籍市場において、これらの問題を解消することで電子書籍市場の 発展につながる。我々は、「日本の低迷している書籍業界を、電子書籍という新たな書籍技術 を普及させることで、活気ある書籍業界を目指していく」ことをネットワーク化する現在の社 会において実現していくべきビジョンであると考えた。本稿の構成は以下のとおりである。 第１章では、電子書籍産業の発展の歴史および現状を確認する。日本における電子書籍の歴 史を知ることで電子書籍の問題点、電子書籍市場発展に向けての方向性などを考察した。現状 分析では、日本と電子書籍先進国であるアメリカの市場概要などを分析した。電子書籍先進国 のアメリカでの電子書籍市場規模は近年急激に増加しており、2012 年には書籍市場全体の約 20％を占めるに至っている。一方、同じ年の日本では電子書籍市場規模は増加しているものの 書籍市場全体の約 8％を占める程度であることが分かった。その原因として日本とアメリカの 環境等の違いがあることが分かったが、我々はそれらが決して解決不可能な問題ではなく、日 本の電子書籍市場でも改善できると考えられる点に注目した。その結果、日本が電子書籍市場 においてアメリカに対して遅れをとっている原因を、(1)コンテンツ数の少なさ、(2)高すぎる価 格設定、(3)ストアの乱立による不便さの大きく 3 つに分類した。 第 2 章の分析では、先ほど示した電子書籍の発展しない 3 つの大きな原因についてその根本の 原因を細かく分析した。1 つ目の問題点であるコンテンツ数の少なさは、出版業界などからの 圧力や出版業界のビジネス構造、そして複雑な著作権が問題であると分かった。2 つ目の価格 の問題点は、電子書籍化にかかる契約や電子化する際のコストといった電子書籍特有の製作コ ストはかかるものの、電子書籍の作成には不要な印刷という手法や流通段階で関わってくる取 次が必要ないため電子書籍の価格には削減の余地が存在し、かつ出版社も著者も紙の書籍より 多くの便益を得られることが分かった。3 つ目のストアの乱立による不便さは、電子書籍が日 本に誕生した当初、標準化したフォーマットが作成されず、その結果として各社が独自の フォーマットを考案していき業界としてまとまりのない成長を遂げていったことが問題であっ た。 以上の分析をもとに、第 3 章では政策提言として、電子書籍の「統一アプリ」の設立を政策 提言として試みた。これは現在乱立している電子書籍アプリを統合し、1 つのアプリ内で全て の電子書籍を購入でき同時に閲覧することも可能にするものである。この統一アプリの設立に よって、先ほどの 3 つの問題点を改善し、電子書籍市場が発展していくのではないかと考え た。「統一アプリの確立」をもって書籍の不便性を解消することが出来れば、IT リテラシーの 高い人だけでなく、一般消費者においても手軽に電子書籍が利用できるようなより良い書籍文 化が広がるであろう。
