A practical use of learning system using user preference in ubiquitous computing environment

Social and individual antecedents of m-learning adoption in Iran

“…Keengwe and Bhargava (2013) concluded that technology tools and applications which come to be beneficial in developed countries, may arise some challenges in developing societies; therefore, 'one size fits all' or 'one technology for all contexts' does not work in practice. Jeong and Hong (2013) proposed a user preference based system that allowed them to freely choose their preferred courses and construction. The proposed system calculates the students' learning preference and the content is released in accordance with specified difficulty levels.…”

“…Mobile learning can be defined as a dynamic learning environment through the use of handheld and palmtop devices in the field of education (Jeong & Hong, 2013;Keengwe & Bhargava, 2013) which supports learners with some special capabilities such as interactivity, strong search, immediacy, physical mobility and situating of educational activities, self-organized and self-directed learning, corporate training, personalized learning, and an effective technique of delivering lesson and gaining knowledge (Bidin & Ziden, 2013;Jeong & Hong, 2013;Martin & Ertzberger, 2013;Viberg & Gronlung, 2013). Mobile devices are indicated to have a positive impact on both teachers and students in that it positively affects the duration of their attention, learning and training tenacity, and their attitudes towards collaboration and interaction (Ozdamli & Uzunboylu, 2014).…”

“…In knowledge management, a significant matter appears to be how to push individuals to more engage in knowledge sharing (Zhang, Pablos, & Xu, 2014;Zhang, Pablos, & Zhou, 2013). M-learning, however, as one of the KM initiatives, has provided a dynamic learning environment through which knowledge is being easily gained and shared among users (Jeong & Hong, 2013;Viberg & Gronlung, 2013). While mobile devices are increasingly being used for learning, the need for research on potential factors driving m-learning adoption still is felt (Viberg & Gronlung, 2013), especially in the context of developing countries.…”

Empirical Analysis on Factors Impacting on Intention to Use M-learning in Basic Education in Egypt

“…There are so many advantages that m-learning may offer its users, including interactive learning activities, self-managing learning, corporate learning, personalized learning, and an effective methodology of sending and receiving knowledge (Bidin & Ziden, 2013;Jeong & Hong, 2013;Martin & Ertzberger, 2013;Viberg & Grönlund, 2013). Mobility is deemed as the strongest feature of mobile learning in comparison with the traditional education (Coursaris & Hassanein, 2002;Liu, 2011) as it allows students to have access and exchange information wherever and whenever they need to.…”

Editorial: advanced semantic and social multimedia technologies for future computing environment

“…Next paper entitled "A Practical Use of Learning System using User Preference in Ubiquitous Computing Environment," by Hong et al [8] implements a u-learning system that considers the learning level and preferences of each learner. The system provides information about the student's preferred learning section and difficulty level of learning contents and indicates the areas that may require additional study (based on the educational history of the student), thus allowing students to set up an optimized learning environment.…”
