A Framework of Social Interaction Support for Ubiquitous Learning

Abstract

This paper describes the computer supported ubiquitous learning system and the social interaction between learners. We define the ubiquitous learning with five prime attributes, and present a generalized social interaction support model for the ubiquitous learning. Moreover, in order to support learners with increasing social skill, a solution for constructing social interaction in ubiquitous learning environment is designed, which includes three major functions; encounter, communication and collaboration support functions.
