| Description: | Abstract: "E-learning has enabled a variety of ways for teachers to give instruction and students to learn that were not possible in a traditional education environment. This paper describes the Cyber Schooling framework that enhances the familiar traditional school paradigm by identifying different modes in which technology is able to serve the learning process. The Cyber Schooling framework includes four elements: Cyber School, Cyber Classroom, Cyber Teacher Desk (teacher's WiFi laptop) and Cyber Student Desk (student's WiFi laptop). The paper describes the principle of the Cyber Schooling framework and provides case studies for various possible modes."

Conclusion" "The Cyber Classroom circumvents the restriction of space and time, and provides teachers and students with a common study environment well beyond the physical classroom of traditional schooling. The Cyber Teacher Desk provides teachers with enhanced teaching aids and just-intime access to students both within the real classroom and outside of it. Cyber Student Desk provides students with multifarious learning tools. The Cyber Schooling framework provides a clear classification of the modes in which Cyber School can be used, along with the bandwidth requirements, mobility of network access and the extent of situated learning that can be achieved. The real-life examples of various modes illustrates the practical utility of the framework. AcknowledgementÐThis research was supported" |
