Smart Ubiquitous Learning Environments

Authors/Creators

Description

The concept of ubiquitous computing is notoriously documented and successfully applied as society at large has blissfully accepted and heavily relies upon the pervasive and omnipresence of the online network to wirelessly connect and seamlessly access the massive knowledge-base and social media. On the other hand, smart environments are a complex research area that require meticulous attention and in-depth investigation before being employed as they interact directly with the users. When both these areas come together within an educational environment, the necessity and exigency of ensuring safe and sound conditions escalate even more. In this paper, we present ubiquitous learning as one of a number of elearning affordances within a new learning model as it factors in to addresses one particular aspect of a smart classroom. The justifications, challenges, and recommendations of embodying our philosophical concept within a working model are also put forward in what could potentially be the next generation model of physical classrooms.
