Abstract
The majority of Japanese classrooms are teacher-centered. Teachers lecture one-sidedly and write explanatory notes on blackboard matching the content of the textbook. The students just listen and copy the content that the teacher wrote on the blackboard.
We have begun using an electronic textbook (e-textbook) that students can edit. When the student understands the teacher’s explanation, leaving out an important term, or obscuring the part where it is explained allows students to remake the textbook into their personal notebook. Because copying the blackboard becomes unnecessary, the students can better focus on the teacher’s explanation while becoming more engaged in the learning process. We have developed a WEB application that changes a textbook into a personalized notebook which better engages students in a teacher-centered environment.
