Abstract

Due to the development of mobile devices and wireless networks, mobile applications are more and more popular in our daily lives. Since most mobile devices have the GPS positioning function, it makes the Location Based Services become an important research issue. The early applications of location based services focused on GIS-related services, such as mobile trajectory records, maps, navigation and other services. Pokemon GO is a well-known LBS related game. In addition, in the past few years, the usage of IT technology in teaching and learning environment has become more popular. Due to the popularity of mobile devices, the design of teaching applications can been implemented through various mobile devices. It provides students with ubiquitous learning area.

Therefore, how to combine the LBS application and mobile learning system such that the student can learn anywhere with various learning activities become an important research issue. Furthermore, it will form a whole new learning method for students to learn.

The main purples of this paper is to develop an interactive learning platform for LBS learning applications. Based on this platform, the teacher can design different kinds of content, such as teaching activities, AR applications, interactive games, multi-level tournament and so on, for different locations. The corresponding designed content will be triggered when the user or student pass some particular location. Moreover, the nearby users can help the other users to complete the learning activities which is truly a kind of collaboration learning.
