Abstract. Improving and stimulating teaching and learning are an interesting topic among educational researchers. As technology advances and with mobile technology and the Internet being used widely, it has become a vital tool for knowledge gathering and information sharing. It can foster new directives for teachers and stimulate the minds of learners, improving learning outcomes. However, the process of this triangulation of interaction has been overlooked in the Southeastern Asian region and requires an in-depth study into its culturally diverse background to identify its core problems and benefits. We propose Student Motivated Integrated Learning & Education with culture (SMiLE c) model in order to integrate education with web and mobile technology with an emphasis on Asian learning culture to promote active learning reduce overall costs and improves student learning outcome. We illustrate how this model can be imple‐ mented in Southeast Asian schools to improve teaching to suit students’ learning style during lessons through an alert system and motivates student to participate in discussions which can be used by the institution to identify student’s skill set early in the learning process.

Introduction
For more than a decade, technology has been a tool for success in every industry. The diversity of technology advancement has projected a new era of science and technology development in which technology developers are inspired by innovating and impro‐ vising technology features. Integration of the Internet, social media, web 2.0 and mobile devices are the current focus for industry players in this modern digital age, thus harnessing the power of social media and web technologies to advance their knowledge and businesses to the next level [1]. Proper technology integration guides students toward a better understanding of all concepts taught in class. It boosts student capacity, motivates students, increases student performance, amplifies and guides the cognitive process of learners [2]. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2017 K. Kim and N.

However, technology integration process in the education industry is challenging due to the constantly changing nature of technology. Ravenscroft argues that “we cannot truly transform educational practice for the better through using new technologies unless we examine the roles the computer can play in truly stimulating, supporting and favoring innovative learning interactions that are linked to conceptual d
