User Behavior in Multi-screen eLearning

This article reports on the progress we have achieved as we continue to pilot new approaches using an eEcosystem that is based on a multi-screen concept to support e-learning. Here we recap our recent progress with the project JAUZI/eBig3 that is a multi-screen e-learning development. The approach effectively integrates the popular technologies of television, Internet, and mobile phones. It is a new way of using technology to support and encourage engagement in the lifelong learning process. Here we present the results of ten course pilots offered in 2013 with the eBig3-learning format as well as the teacher training courses offered by the MII project (Modern Education of Interests) in 2014. The target group of eBig3 courses was general public, but for the MII courses it was teachers. We compared the user behavior data from the various presented courses with the number of learning objects to the number of users. We found that the multiscreen eLearning approach with eBig3 increased eContent availability and in selected courses user motivation in optional courses trend to reach the motivation level of mandatory courses.
