Context-aware support for computer-supported ubiquitous learning

TLDR

The study proposes a computer-supported ubiquitous learning environment featuring two systems—JAPELAS for context‑aware Japanese polite expression learning and TANGO for RFID‑based object detection and educational content delivery. The authors implement these systems, with JAPELAS providing context‑sensitive polite expressions derived from learner situation and personal data, and TANGO detecting surrounding objects via RFID tags to supply relevant educational information, and they conduct a preliminary evaluation of both.

Abstract

This paper describes a computer supported ubiquitous learning environment for language learning. This paper proposes two systems. The first is context-aware language-learning support system for Japanese polite expressions learning, which is called JAPELAS (Japanese polite expressions learning assisting system). This system provides learner the appropriate polite expressions deriving the learner's situation and personal information. The second system is called TANGO (Tag Added learNinG Objects) system, which detects the objects around learner using RFID tags, and provides the learner the educational information. This paper describes the preliminary evaluation of those two systems.
