A Computer-Assisted Approach for Designing Context-Aware Ubiquitous Learning Activities

Recent advance of wireless communication and sensor technologies has leaded the educational conception to a new area, called context-aware ubiquitous learning. The new conception of learning not only depicts significant advantages, but also reveals the difficulty of applying it. The major difficulty is owing to the lack of procedural guidance that assists the teachers in designing learning activities that bring the new learning conception into full play. To cope with this problem, this study proposes a procedural knowledge acquisition strategy for designing context- aware ubiquitous learning activities. In addition, a practical application is presented to show the effectiveness of the innovative approach.
