Open education offers higher education opportunities for underprivileged communities and solves the problem of deficit in learning resources, such as human and material resources, throughout developing countries. Open education, however, has certain challenges in terms of dependency on the Internet. The use of mobile devices is expected to aid in meeting these challenges. Mobile learning (m-learning),...
Mobile learning is a new way for learning and mobile learning resources construction is very important to the development of mobile learning. Original UGC have many characteristics including fragmented content, original content, plentiful resources and easy way to obtained. Original UGC can be obtained through a variety of tools such as RSS, Tag, SNS and search engine. And because of these four new...
Internet has evolved and grown tremendously during the last years. We're living the rise of the “self-made” Web Services. On the one hand, this conception reduces the limitations for the creation of new Web Services capable of operating on top of the large Internet technological foundation, while on the other it has some drawbacks such as: slow creation process, long time-to-market, deep knowledge...
Data sharing in support of situational awareness during complex emergencies remains a challenge to effective response and recovery, despite the fact that significant technological advances have enabled robust mobile data collection capabilities that can operate in both connected and disconnected environments. Current solutions rely on disparate knowledge silos that make situational awareness difficult...
A Machine-to-Machine (M2M) system, which uses Arduino, Android, and Wiki software, is discussed. ["proposed"?] This system consists of mobile terminals and web sites with wiki software. A mobile terminal of the system consists of an Android terminal and an Arduino board with sensors and actuators. The mobile terminal reads data from the sensors in the Arduino board and sends the data to...
This paper reports an attempt to rise above the past five years' expositions and studies on 1:1 mobile seamless learning by putting forward the notions of self-directed seamless learning and facilitated seamless learning to distinguish between self- and externally-initiated seamless learning activities. In order to nurture genuine self-directed and therefore life-long learners, seamless learning practitioners...
With the development of information technology, mobile phones are gaining popularity quickly in recent years and become indispensable in people's everyday life. People who visited libraries to find specific pieces of information in the past are now able to find that information online. The vast majority of people with specific information need no longer visit libraries. But their need for information...
Navigation service based on webGIS has a fast development. But recent research is only based on the outdoor environment or the indoor environment respectively. There is not a way to integrate them together. To cope with this problem, the paper describes an approach to integrate indoor map and outdoor map together using Google map APIs and discuses the navigation service based on the integrated map...
Broadcasting over the last century or so has witnessed an immense change in its media and the technology involved with it. There have been much research and development but only a few out of these stand-out clearly and can be truly considered as `Stellar' moments. The very first electricity transmission wirelessly could be said to have marked the birth of broadcasting. Evolution of the antenna provided...
With the development of 3G, the popularity of smart phones, and the emergence of Mobile Internet provide, the mobile publishing has become a new digital publishing fashion after electronic publishing and web publishing. The fundamental purpose of copyright protection is to stimulate the creation, to promote the literature, art and science prosperity. But the opening and sharing are the life of the...
This article presents a study carried out on the user-centred design of mobile applications for on-line learning via in-depth interviews of students and ethnographic observations of their commuting context. The objective of the research is to understand the needs and requirements of students who undertake on-line learning and use their commuting time to study or do learning-related tasks. Via the...
This paper presents a mobile software application for the provision of mobile guidance, supporting functionalities, which are based on automatically extracted Collective Intelligence. Collective Intelligence is the intelligence which emerges from the collaboration, competition and coordination among individuals and can be extracted by the analysis of mass amount of user-contributed data currently...
The hand-held systems and the wireless Internet access are widely available in recent years. However, the mobile learning with web content is still inconvenient. For example, the information has not well organized and it is uneasy to surf on the small screen of handheld device. We propose a mobile system based on the content of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a free content resource and has abundant contents...
Wikipedia is widely known encyclopedia in the web updated by volunteers around the world. Mobile and location based wiki with NFC, however, brings forward the idea of using Near Field Communication tags as an enabler for seeking information content from wiki. In this paper we shortly address how NFC infrastructure can be created in a city for the use of location-based wiki. The users of the system...
Newspaper companies have been providing online services to readers through the online newspaper for the last decade. Today, the newspaper companies are facing many challenges when readers start to access information via Mobile Internet by using various mobile devices such as mobile phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs). Thus, a major concern in the industry is on creating a usable mobile portal...
