Supporting Teacher Orchestration In Ubiquitous Learning Environments: A Study In Primary Education, Juan Muñoz Cristóbal, Ivan Jorrín Abellán, Juan Asensio Perez, Alejandra Martínez Monés, Luis Prieto, Yannis Dimitriadis

Ivan M. Jorrín Abellán

During the last decades, educational contexts have transformed into complex technological and social ecologies, with mobile devices expanding the scope of education beyond the traditional classroom, creating so-called Ubiquitous Learning Environments (ULEs). However, these new technological opportunities entail an additional burden for teachers, who need to manage and coordinate the resources involved in such complex educational scenarios in a process known as “orchestration”. This paper presents the evaluation of the orchestration support provided by GLUEPS-AR, a system aimed to help teachers in the coordination of across-spaces learning situations carried out in ULEs. The evaluation, following an interpretive research perspective, relied …

Free Roaming: A System For Ubiquitous Computing, Huanjin Liu

Theses Digitization Project

Based on the Umbilical Cord system, this project enriches the Ubiquitous Computing system with a Free Roaming system. This Free Roaming consists of a distributed authentication system, a data caching system and a communication system between them. It allows user to roam within this system and access his data everywhere. Together with the Umbilical Cord system, a Ubiquitous Computing system is functionally completed as a prototype, and is ready to be deployed into the Internet.
