Full Description
This book is concerned with the mobile, ubiquitous,
and pervasive learning arena. It
present a collection of works corresponding to four categories: reviews,
studies, conceptual proposals, and approaches. As a result of the submission
and revision processes eight manuscripts were accepted and organized into the
aforementioned four parts as follows:
·Review: a couple of chapters offer a
survey of related works. One concerns with the diversity of mobile, ubiquitous,
and pervasive labor, where interested findings are unveiled based on
correlations. Other focuses on adaptive and adaptable architectures that are
suitable to implement ubiquitous learning sceneries, whose contribution
represents a model of a domain specific architecture.
·Studies: two chapters explore issues
related to the effect of question styles made through smartphones and tablets,
and the disposition of teachers to exploit mobile devices at classroom.
·Conceptual: a pair of chapters offer a
given proposal, the first to develop adaptive mobile learning systems by means
of a framework based on contextual information; and the second with the purpose
to share some guidelines of how to apply cloud computing in the development and
operation of mobile.
·Approaches: two chapters apply a
specific paradigm as part of a whole application and reveal the achieved
impact. One of them uses augmented reality to encourage children to learn about
trees as context-sensitive informal learning. The other, immerses children in
playing a learning game to learn math by cooperating between members team and
interacting through mobile devices.
This volume will be a source of interest for
researchers, practitioners, professors, and postgraduate students aimed at
updating their knowledge and finding targets for future work in the mobile,
ubiquitous, and pervasive learning field!
