Towards a methodology for semantic and context-aware mobile learning
2013
International audience; Internet and mobile devices open the way towards mobile learning (m-learning), offering new opportunities to extend learning beyond the traditional teacher-led classroom. M-learning is not only any form of teaching or studying that takes place when the user interacts with a mobile device. It is more than just using a mobile device to access resources and communicate with others. It should take account of the constant mobile situation of the learner. The challenge here is to exploit this continually changing situation with a system that can dynamically recognize and adapt educational resources and services to the "context" in which the learner operates (localization, …
A Context-Based Adaptation In Mobile Learning
2013
International audience; Recent developments on mobile devices and wireless technologies enable new technical capabilities for the learning domain. Nowadays, learners are able to learn anywhere and at any time. The dynamic and continually changing learning setting in learner's mobile environment gives rise to many different learning contexts. The challenge in context-aware mobile learning is to develop an approach building the best learning content according to dynamic learning situations. This paper aims to develop an adaptive system based on the semantic modeling of the learning content and the learning context. The behavioral part of this approach is made up of rules and metaheuristics to…
Retos y oportunidades de la tecnología móvil en la educación física (Challenges and opportunities of mobile technology in physical education).
2019
La educación física (EF) y su profesorado están llamados a seguir procesos de inmersión digital, voluntarios o involuntarios, asociados al consumo masivo de medios y servicios digitales y a las demandas de la sociedad y de la institución educativa. El uso de tecnología, especialmente la móvil, social y ubicua, se generaliza personal y profesionalmente, aunque la escuela sigue sin encontrarle acomodo. Reconoce su potencial didáctico, pero no logra alcanzarlo. En la EF el uso de tecnologías tradicionales y fijas han demostrado su utilidad en la fase preactiva y postactiva del acto didáctico, sin embargo, los aprendizajes en movilidad propios de la fase activa, aconsejan explorar alternativas …

Actual and Potential Pedagogical Use of Tablets in Schools
2013
This study reviews the potential of tablet technology for teaching and learning. In autumn 2012, we conducted a focused survey comprising quantitative and qualitative questions with Finnish teachers (N = 171, from 54 schools). We focused on perceived pedagogical opportunities and the actualized pedagogical potential of tablets at schools. The survey results indicate that the actual usefulness of tablets in schools was significantly less than what teachers perceived as the pedagogical potential. However, the results demonstrate the positive impact these devices are having on teaching and learning, as well as prompting changes in pedagogical perspectives. Teachers stated that tablets can dive…
Students’ Perception of Cell Phones Effect on their Academic Performance: A Latvian and a Middle Eastern University Cases
2021
This study is unique in its attempt to combine the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with external variables and the Information System Continuance Theory, in the context of mobile learning. It extends TAM with the external variables perceived mobility and perceived enjoyment. Mainly, students’ perception of cell phones effect on their academic performance is investigated. The study was conducted at two different universities—in Europe and the Middle East. Cell phone usage is analyzed from the perspective of mobile learning. The data in this study were collected from 103 students from the University of Latvia and 106 students from a Middle Eastern private American University. This study sho…
Edu-social Algorithm: educare con i social network a scuola. Un modello operativo per il Mobile Learning
2023
In questo lavoro si mostreranno i presupposti teorici e operativi per lo sviluppo di un Mobile Learning capace di coniugare didattica in presenza ed esperienze digitali, sfruttando Instagram come social media privilegiato per una proposta di un modello metodologico volto a strumentalizzare le funzioni multimediali e interattive interne all’applicazione. I risultati qualitativi del progetto di ricerca-azione Edu-social Algorithm mostrano una serie di contenuti mediaeducativi che evidenziano il potenziale pedagogico dentro il social media Instagram e la replicabilità del modello metodologico sviluppato.
Mobile learning e istruzione
2014
Già da alcuni anni, l’ambito pedagogico-didattico ha preso atto delle potenzialità insite nelle tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione e i governi di tutti i paesi del mondo, ed il nostro in particolare, hanno avviato e sostenuto progetti per il produttivo inserimento delle nuove tecnologie nella didattica per l’istruzione di ogni ordine e grado. Nella ricerca sul campo, anche se i risultati si riferiscono ad un numero ridotto di studenti, emerge chiaramente come l’uso dei dispositivi mobili quali il pc e lo smartphone è estremamente diffuso. L’atteggiamento complessivo verso la formazione a distanza e le attività di interazione e di collaborazione tramite reti (Internet e socia…
Formación del alumnado y prácticas de uso de los dispositivos móviles en centros españoles de Educación Secundaria
2018
El presente trabajo delimita el campo de estudio sobre la construcción de la identidad del individuo como ciudadano en la sociedad digital. Contexto en el que estudiamos los modelos formativos orientados a mejorar el uso responsable de las tecnologías en centros de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria españoles. El trabajo de campo se aborda mediante un estudio de casos múltiples (tres institutos públicos). Entre los instrumentos para la recogida de información destacamos las revisiones bibliográficas, el análisis de contenido, el cuestionario y las entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesionales de la educación. En esta comunicación presentamos un avance de los resultados conseguidos sobre las p…
