Abstract

The experience record in smart space is an useful service for education activities, either for the purpose of course review or multimedia courseware creation. In this paper, we present the concept of collaborative experience record according to the new feature of pervasive computing paradigm. A supporting platform is implemented to enable the rapid prototyping of experience record applications in smart space. A group of common functions for experience record are contained in the platform and can be directly used in the application. Standard interfaces are also provided to evolve the information sensoring services in smart space so that they can cooperate with experience record application at runtime. We have prototyped an augmented classroom application based on this platform and user study results are also presented in the paper.
