“…Due to the popularity of wireless devices and progress in mobile computing technology, mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous tools in everyone's life. Innovation, design, and creating new technology interfaces are developing a theoretical conception of potential mobile devices to inspire new forms of learning and engagement in the scholars of different fields (Land et al, 2015). Digital education learning from mobile technology not only has the potential to enhance the immersion and participation of learners in the actual settings where the knowledge being learned is to be applied, but also experiences real-world or pursued by learners across setting goal (Land et al, 2012).…”

Mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous methodologies and tools, providing application for learning and teaching field. On the basis of the widespread use of wireless devices and mobile computing technology, this study proposes a context-aware plant ecology learning system (CAPELS) based on context-aware technology; adapting deep neural networks (DNN) and leaf vein and shape identification algorithm which can identify plant leaves, this system automatically provides relevant botanical and growth environment knowledge to the learners. Therefore, during outdoor education, it can assist learners in accurately obtaining the required relevant botanical and growth environment knowledge. The experimental results indicate that students who used CAPELS performed better learning about plant ecology than those who did not. We also delivered questionnaires to those who used CAPELS and analyzed the results by using the partial least squares (PLS) method. The results have shown that CAPELS can encourage student’s learning motivation and thus improve their learning effectiveness. Thus, CAPELS provides a new educational platform for promoting ecology learning approach and effectively improves student learning efficiency and motivation.
