The hybrid teaching assistant for developing interactivity and comprehension is a model to enhance students' learning by involving them in different testing types and discussions, providing them with advices and allowing them to send their feedbacks. The system makes use of the Internet and Communication Technologies (ICT) to provide a reliable and secure environment. The system consists of exams, discussions, query, charts and feedbacks. Web and mobile phone SMS are used as a communication base among the system's users. The system is hybrid two directional because students can answer the questions using the web form or the SMS form. In addition, students can receive advices and send their comments in both ways. Experiments results showed that students were more enthusiastic during the lesson, they were totally involved in the class room and they achieved better grades. Answers charts improved students' cooperation since they need to discuss the choices to find the correct answer.

Thinking is as important as learning. It is one of important and effective learning approaches by recording and reflecting student's' own learning attitude and learning performance and referring to others' learning portfolio daily. Although many of students know this approach, but seldom of them put this approach into action owing to the problem of preserving content of reflection and learning portfolio. In this paper, a networked learning reflection mechanism based on blog service is presented. Students can make their learning reflection and view others' with ease. An experiment was conducted at an Institute of Technology upon system completion. The experimental results show that there is a positive correlation between students' learning performance and attitude of learning reflection. It reveals that students who have better learning performance tend to make more reflection on their learning. More than 80% of students express this mechanism has positive affection on their learning.

Purpose - The purpose of this article is to present a guiding system with enhanced functionality based upon radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to promote a user friendly experience. Design/methodology/approach - Based on a user survey, the paper provides a guiding system using RFID with blog platform for further interaction. An example of this technology was built into a gallery at a college in Taiwan. Findings - This guiding system is defined as pull type because users actively pull the relevant information using RFID readers. With such functionalities, users have the opportunity to acquire information, using a mobile device, about a specific object in a context-aware manner. In addition, users can share ideas and comments related to the object on blogs with others who had visited or will visit the object or site. The user survey results showed that visitors seldom met the artists at an exhibition of their works, but desired to discuss and shares comments with them and other visitors. The proposed system addressees this need with a blog, and the user satisfaction survey confirmed that the proposed system met the requirements. Originality/value - The paper provides a guiding system to enhancing user experience by RFID and blog. The system also builds a channel between the creators of the artworks and others.
