大會主講 Keynote speech
Abstract
The first ever World Happiness Report has been published recently by the United Nations, it reflects a new worldwide demand for more attention to happiness as criteria for government policy. This also calls upon science and technology in both natural and social domains to be developed for promoting a happy and healthy lifestyle in our modern society.
To meet such a world trend, the Orange Technology research has been first proposed in National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan. The Orange Technology refers to a newly evolved interdisciplinary research area for integration and innovation of health, happiness, and care technologies. The research scope includes computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, psychological/physiological science, cognitive science, and social science. The representative color of Orange Technology originates from a harmonic fusion of red (representing brightness of health and happiness) and yellow (representing warming care). Instead of emphasizing the relations between environments and humans, as proposed by green technology, the objective of Orange Technology will explore the innovative technologies to bring more health, happiness, warming care, and more mental wellness to the society. So far, we have developed many new models for the Orange Technology such as the H2O model, 3D model of happiness, SEE-H methodology H-POS for service engineering and Happiness informatics for the detection, measurement and feedback of the happiness emotion.
The Happiness Informatics Research is also newly proposed accompanying with Orange technology. It will first sense the happiness behavior of the human being to get the happiness signals such as EEG brain signals, smiling sound signals & smiling face images etc. Then the information technology such as pattern recognition technique will be applied to detect & measure the happiness degree of the behavior based on the input signals. Finally the system will give the suitable positive feedback to improve the happiness degree of the user. Several interesting examples will be demonstrated in this speech.

Prof. Wang recently has explored the research on Orange Technology. Orange Technology refers to a newly evolved interdisciplinary research area for integration and innovation of health, happiness, and care technologies. The objective of Orange Technology is to bring more health, happiness and warming care to the society.
Abstract
Previous research has indicated that the students' views about learning guide their learning in traditional schooling context. In recent years, innovative technologies have been applied to educational settings and students are likely to have more opportunities to engage in some learning opportunities enhanced by technology (such as Internet, mobile computing technologies or augmented reality). Does technology make a difference for students' views about learning? How may students' perceptions of learning guide their learning in technology-enhanced environments? This talk will first review a series of studies from my research team regarding how students in different grade levels may interpret learning for various types of technology-enhanced instructional activities. It is found that the students possess quite different views about learning supported by technology-enhanced learning environments. The interplay among perceptions of learning, approaches to learning and learning outcomes for certain technology-supported environments will be discussed. How the technology may play a role in promoting students’ views toward learning will be addressed.
