Abstract
Pervasive learning as key technology for tomorrow’s learning will enhance and modernise education — not just in academic teaching. Pervasive learning can be regarded as the latest evolutionof e-learning made possible through recent highly mobile techniques. Through the use of pervasive computing and the use of omnipresent technologies, the presence of these technologies is becoming less conspicuous. Such development leads towards a new organisation of the whole learning environment, called a pervasive campus. This further advances mobile learning for an effectively organised blended learning. In this paper, we propose an architecture with related components and services that facilitates the implementation of pervasive campus applications in dynamic and complex environments, such as those encountered in pervasive communities. We describe scalable, efficient (just-in-time) techniques for the synergistic integration of services into a pervasive campus.
Zusammenfassung
Pervasive Learning stellt eine Schlüsseltechnologie der künftigen Ausbildung dar und wird diese nicht nur im akademischen Bereich optimieren und modernisieren. Diese neuartige Form des elektronischen Lehrens und Lernens wurde mit dem Entwicklungsfortschritt hochmobiler Technologien möglich. Durch das Pervasive Computing werden diese allgegenwärtig und treten gleichzeitig in den Hintergrund zurück. Das bringt eine neue Organisation der gesamten Lernumgebung mit sich, die als Pervasive Campus das mobile Lernen zu einem effektiv organisierten Blended Learning führt. In diesem Artikel werden eine Architektur sowie deren Komponenten und Dienste vorgestellt, auf deren Basis ein Pervasive Campus in komplexen, mobilen Umgebungen realisiert werden kann, wie sie bei der Bildung so genannter Pervasive Communities entstehen. Es werden skalierbare, effiziente Mechanismen für die nahtlose Integration verschiedener Dienste in einen Pervasive Campus beschrieben.
