Abstract

In ubiquitous learning environments, learning resources are realistic objects in real fields. Certain physical constraints, like population control and traveling time along resources, as well as context-dependent parameters exist in these learning environments. As long as the values of the context-dependent parameters changing swiftly while learning, a navigation support mechanism which will suggest better learning paths for the learners in real-time is important to better utilize the learning resources and achieve better learning efficacy for a group of learners. In this paper, the problem of navigation support in context-aware ubiquitous learning is investigated. Two navigation support algorithms are also proposed for the context-aware ubiquitous learning environments. Learning efficacy and navigation efficiency were taken into consideration in these algorithms. A simulation environment is also constructed to evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanisms.
