GGULIVRR: mobiel en contextueel leren van dichtbij
De leercommunities streven er naar opkomende technologieën op een creatieve manier op te nemen en te integreren om op de hoogte te blijven van de ontwikkeling van leerinhoud en -platformen terwijl ze tevens trachten aan de behoeften van leerders te voldoen en het gebrek aan beschikbare middelen te overwinnen. Aangezien informatie in overvloed wordt aangeboden en veranderingen constant zijn, is het onderwijs verplicht zich te richten op de benodigde vaardigheden in de 21e eeuw.
Het project GGULIVRR (Generic Game for Ubiquitous Learning in Interactive Virtual and Real Realities) gaat over de generieke games voor alomtegenwoordig leren in reële en virtuele interactieve werkelijkheden. Het project start met de studie van alomtegenwoordig leren, verricht onderzoek naar mobiel en contextueel leren, test kleine mobiele toestellen uit met een complexe reken- en netwerkcapaciteit, controleert de internet-penetratie en verkent intelligente tags.
Het doel van het project GGULIVRR is leercommunities een kader te bieden waarmee leerders de 21e eeuwse vaardigheden kunnen oefenen en versterken door mobiele contextuele games te ontwikkelen en te spelen.
Het project GGULIVRR zet de leerders aan om contact op te nemen. Om een contextuele game te kunnen spelen, moet men zich noodzakelijkerwijs op een “tastbare” locatie bevinden waar echte objecten met een intelligente tag zijn geïdentificeerd. Door een tag “aan te raken” krijgt men toegang tot de contextuele inhoud. Door GGULIVRR games te ontwikkelen en hiermee te spelen, kan men andere gamers en ontwikkelaars ontmoeten aangezien het project zodanig is opgezet dat interdisciplinariteit, intersociale en interculturele communicatie en samenwerking bevorderd worden, zodat lokale groepen met een minimale technische kennis toegang tot de contextuele inhoud hebben.
Open leermiddelen in het mobiele tijdperk: compatibiliteit van de digitale repositories voor mobiele toestellen en toekomstige tendensen
Leerobjecten en open inhouden worden in de Horizon-rapporten in 2004 en 2010 genoemd en de verwachtingen over hun invloed op korte termijn als gevolg van het groeiende aanbod van gratis open inhoud op internet. Er dient echter een harmonisatie van digitale repositories voor open leermiddelen plaats te vinden zodat hun inhoud voor mobiele toestellen toegankelijk worden.
Op basis van een literatuurstudie van het onderzoek omtrent leerobjecten voor mobiele toestellen tussen 2007 en 2012 geven de schrijvers een samenvatting van de huidige tendensen op dit gebied voor wat betreft de ontwikkeling, publicatie, ontdekking, aanschaf, toegang, gebruik en hergebruik. Ook worden de resultaten gepresenteerd van een enquête bij 23 houders van educatieve repositories met betrekking tot de huidige en toekomstige toegankelijkheid van hun repository voor mobiele toestellen. Vervolgens worden voor de gebruikers de kenmerken van de belangrijkste repositories voor open leermiddelen vermeld waarna tot slot wordt ingegaan op toekomstige tendensen en hun volgende bijdragen.

GeoHCI 2013 - Geographic Human-Computer Interaction
GeoHCI 2013 aims to provide a much needed venue for members of the human-computer interaction and geography communities to create and share knowledge on topics that span this disciplinary boundary.
For the increasing number of HCI researchers and practitioners whose work has a geographic component, GeoHCI 2013 will offer a unique opportunity to discuss best practices and open research questions with like-minded members of the HCI community and with geographers, whose field has a rich understanding of spatial phenomena. For geographers, GeoHCI 2013 is a chance to do the same with experts in HCI-related areas such as online communities, mobile and online maps, location-based social networks, crisis informatics, ubiquitous computing, and augmented reality.
Researchers and practitioners in HCI, geography, and related disciplines who are interested in participating should submit a two-page position statement as described in the call for papers. Position statements are due January 11, 2013 and should be submitted through our EasyChair site. The workshop, co-located with CHI 2013 in Paris, will be on April 27.
On April 28, we are hosting an optional second workshop day that will consist of various "in the field" activities. We are actively seeking proposals for participant-led field trips. Have a great new citizen science app you want to demonstrate? Want to lead an OpenStreetMap data collection activity to bring everyone at the workshop up to speed on the OSM state-of-the-art? Can you guide us on an augmented reality tour of Paris? Let us know! Position statements that are accompanied by field activity proposals will receive extra consideration.

eLmL 2013 - Fifth International Conference on Mobile, Hybrid, and On-line Learning
eLmL 2013 conference continutes bringing together federated views on mobileLearning, hybridLearning, and on-lineLearning. eLmL 2013 is dedicated to educators, eLearning experts, and students to exchange their ideas, experiences and lessons learnt in different facets of modern learning.
eLearning refers to on-line learning delivered over the World Wide Web via the public Internet or the private, corporate intranet. The conference is intended to provide an overview of technologies, approaches, and trends that are happening right now. The constraints of e-learning are diminishing and options are increasing as the Web becomes increasingly easy to use and the technology becomes better and less expensive.
As the ease of execution increases, more and more institutions are discovering the benefits of delivering training via the Web. Interest in e-learning is at an all-time high, and the workshop wants to serve as a stimulus to accelerate collaboration and dialog among the e-learning providers, trainers, IT researchers and the lifelong, self-directed learners. Such business trends as an increased global economy, the pressures for rapid development, and the necessity of teamwork are shaping the present state and the future of eLearning.
Employees are increasingly aware that they must continue to update and advance their skills if they want to understand the state-of-the-art technologies and remain valuable to their organizations. This means that learners will be more and more self-directed, and they will want access to what they need when they need it. The Internet based educational materials and the e-learning providers have to meet this demand.
The conference focuses on the latest trends in e-learning and also on the latest IT technology alternatives that are poised to become mainstream strategies in the near future and will influence the e-learning environment. Ubiquitous systems proliferate quickly due to the latest achievements in the industry of telecommunications, electronics, wireless, and economical globalization.
Wireless and mobility allow any user to timely use resources using various access technologies under (assumed) secured and guaranteed privacy. The family of the mobile devices expand dramatically, allowing a user to have a portable office everywhere, every time. Mobile learning became a fact, due to the technical accessibility and Internet communications. Many online classes, learning systems, university curricula, remote education, and virtual training classes are now part of the corporate education and use.
Progress is made in user modeling and adaptive learning models. The generalization of successful practices on mobile learning is favored by many national and international projects and policy synchronization boards. Adaptation implies also the use of the classical methods, still in use and useful in some contexts and for some categories of users. Hybrid learning is an increasing trend in education today. The traditional classroom learning has been historically proven beneficial. Hybrid learning is rather a series of different learning strategies going from teacher-centric to student-centric. This improves the critical thinking, creativity, self-management, self-study, and advance problem solving thinking of the student.
We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.
Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.
The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.
All topics and submission formats are open to both research and industry contributions. You can check them all here.
Mobile Learning Day: November, 8th
The 2012 Mobile Learning Day will allow experts from Canada, England, Switzerland and Germany to discuss about the implementation of Mobile Learning in different areas. Three workshops will also allow participants to exchange experiences and make contacts. This will take place on November 8th in Hagen.
In the last years, E-learning has confirmed itself as a real and complementary learning form. The so-called Blended-learning concept takes advantage of the place and time flexibility of e-learning and the individuality of coaching and face to face training. The rapid diffusion of mobile devices (cell phones, smart phones, tablets, etc.) makes it necessary to rethink the so-called mobile learning but creates also new challenges:
- the displays are smaller
- the learning units must be smaller because Mobile Learning is used mostly in short periods (for example waiting times)
The Mobile Learning joint research project involves big corporations, small and medium businesses, a university and a german public institution.
Mobile Learning Day
On November, 8th 2012, 9a.m. – 5.30p.m.,
at FernUniversität in Hagen in Ellipse Room.
