Mission-type Education Programs with Smart Device Facilitating

The assessment of Korean students' academic achievement was in higher rank among OECD member countries. However, in terms of spontaneity, interest and confidence, they are in lower rank due to the oppressive schooling system. To raise the preference for study and develop creativity, the new kind of mission-type education programs using smart devices and ICT are drawing attention. For example, Ins-Edu Institute obtained a patent on learning programs using iPads and students on field trips were each given a mission with a QR code and instructed to take pictures, write reports and edit photos using the smart device and send them via SMS. At the 5 th AEMM Meeting, the Institute of APEC Collaborative Education handed out iPads with task information and questions for a tour around the city We analyzed the content and system of these apps, which perform a role to cultivate students' creativity and interest.
