Adaptive Learning Spaces with Context-Awareness

Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of learning space in the digital age and considers the various contexts in which learning occurs. In addition, the paper discusses issues about the modelling of a context-aware learning space ontology. The paper is based on an ongoing collaborative research, which focuses on the interface of learning space and context-aware learning. The long-term goal of this project is to introduce the notion of learning space and explore the role of the design of learning space context-aware ontologies with the ultimate aim of constructing a transformative theory of context-aware learning spaces such as personal learning networks, virtual learning spaces, social learning spaces, and cognitive learning spaces.

The effect of conceptions of learning and prior online course experiences on students’ choice of learning spaces for synchronous online learning during COVID-19

“…However, little research has examined student choices of physical learning spaces for SOL in higher education (Lamb et al, 2022). As an important part of the instructional design, the physical learning space is a key component of the learning environment, which defines the social and cognitive features of the learning environment (Psyché et al, 2019). The few studies that have investigated student choices of course modalities have been critiqued as being typically small-scale, focusing on single disciplines and not having considered latent psychological factors sufficiently (McPartlan et al, 2021;O'Neill et al, 2021).…”

Context-Aware Entrepreneurship Education: Exploring the Educators Perspective

“…This concept of learning space does not in a modern view only refer to the physical environment (classroom or online, e.g. ), but learning spaces also differ as cognitive and social environments (Psyché, Daniel and Bourdeau, 2019). Different stakeholders process bring into education their specific contextual variables.…”
