Mobile, Ubiquitous, and Pervasive Learning

Zusatztext

<p>This book is concerned with the mobile, ubiquitous,and pervasive learning arena. Itpresent a collection of works corresponding to four categories: reviews,studies, conceptual proposals, and approaches. As a result of the submissionand revision processes eight manuscripts were accepted and organized into theaforementioned four parts as follows:</p><p>·<i>Review</i>: a couple of chapters offer asurvey of related works. One concerns with the diversity of mobile, ubiquitous,and pervasive labor, where interested findings are unveiled based oncorrelations. Other focuses on adaptive and adaptable architectures that aresuitable to implement ubiquitous learning sceneries, whose contributionrepresents a model of a domain specific architecture.</p><p>·<i>Studies</i>: two chapters explore issuesrelated to the effect of question styles made through smartphones and tablets,and the disposition of teachers to exploit mobile devices at classroom.</p><p>·<i>Conceptual</i>: a pair of chapters offer agiven proposal, the first to develop adaptive mobile learning systems by meansof a framework based on contextual information; and the second with the purposeto share some guidelines of how to apply cloud computing in the development andoperation of mobile.</p><p>·<i>Approaches</i>: two chapters apply aspecific paradigm as part of a whole application and reveal the achievedimpact. One of them uses augmented reality to encourage children to learn abouttrees as context-sensitive informal learning. The other, immerses children inplaying a learning game to learn math by cooperating between members team andinteracting through mobile devices.</p><p>This volume will be a source of interest forresearchers, practitioners, professors, and postgraduate students aimed atupdating their knowledge and finding targets for future work in the mobile,ubiquitous, and pervasive learning field!</p>
