Cyber Schooling framework: improving mobility and situated learning

With increasing use of Internet in interacting with e-learning resources anytime and anywhere, and interaction possibilities among teachers and students from different parts of the world, it is becoming increasingly important that we exploit the Internet technologies to achieve the most benefits in the education. This paper describes the Cyber Schooling framework that has been created to identify different scenarios in which the technology is able to serve the learning process. The framework takes the much-familiar traditional school structure as the basis and attempts to enhance it by the use of technology to overcome shortcomings of traditional education and study without time and space restriction. The Cyber Schooling framework includes four elements: Cyber School, Cyber Classroom, Cyber Teacher Desk and Cyber Student Desk. This framework provides scenarios to overcome shortcomings of traditional education and enables learners to study in a familiar school-oriented environment.
