CAFCLA: A Conceptual Framework to Develop Collaborative Context-Aware Learning Activities

  • Conference paper
Workshop on Learning Technology for Education in Cloud (LTEC'12)

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 173))

Abstract

Advances appeared in Information and Communication Technologies along last years have given raise to new interaction ways between people and technology. Ambient Intelligences (AmI) is a multidisciplinary research area which promotes the use or technology in a transparent way to facilitate everyday tasks. Education is one field that benefits from AmI: collaboration between students in innovate ways, data acquisition from the context or real time location systems enhance learning processes. This paper presents CAFCLA, a framework aimed at designing, developing and deploying AmI-based educational scenarios where collaboration between students and contextual information are available every time and everywhere through multiple resources and communication protocols.
