A design of ontology context model in ubiquitous learning environments
Dae Jea Cho, Myoung-Woo Hong · Annual Conference on Computers · 2008
This paper describes the conceptual architecture and ontology-based context model for providing context-aware learning services in ubiquitous learning environments. If ubiquitous computing environments have been realized, it can lead to ubiquitous learning. In ubiquitous learning environments, various embedded computational devices will be pervasive and interoperable across the network for supporting the learning, so users may utilize these devices anytime anywhere. An important next step for ubiquitous learning is the introduction of context-aware learning service that employing knowledge and reasoning to understand the local context and share this information in support of intelligent learning services. In this paper, we assume that a school was equipped with ubiquitous computing environments. We present context-aware manager based architecture to support user-centric ubiquitous learning services, and describe a ontology based context model for intelligent school spaces.
