“…However, these benefits could not be pursued by themselves if they implied paying the price of reducing the learning outcome of the process. Previous experiments like [4] have shown that augmenting a situated instructor-led learning process with mobile devices increases the learning outcome of the process. This section is dedicated to study the learning outcome when the presence of the instructor is fully replaced by a mobile device.…”

“…The paper in [3] proposes a context-aware ubiquitous English learning system in a campus environment which can detect the learning location by wireless positioning techniques and retrieve specific learning content based on location information to individual learners through wireless networks. An environment for learning with educational resources based on RFID and ubiquitous computing technologies is described in [4]. A similar experiment which uses a context-aware ubiquitous learning environment which utilizes mobile devices, sensors and wireless networks to conduct situated learning is described in [5].…”

Abstract-The introduction of mobile technologies in class provide instructors with tools for contextualized, active, situated, any-time any-where learning. In fact, the role of the instructor can be partially delegated to the student by the use of a mobile device. This paper assesses if this delegation can be brought to the limit of eliminating the need of the physical presence of the instructor in the particular context of a situated learning environment consisting of a server room where third year Telecommunication Engineering students learn how to configure network services such as DNS, SMTP and HTTP. The paper presents the results of two experiments inside the "advanced telematic applications" course at the Carlos III University of Madrid. Two groups of students participated in the experiments, one following traditional instructor based classes and the other using NFC enabled mobile phones. The paper analyzes both learning increments and motivational aspects.

Abstract. Using mobile personal devices to interact with pervasive smart learning objects and services that create contextualized learning ecosystems can enhance both the learning outcomes and the motivational states of students. This paper defines and analyzes several pervasive learning ecosystems in which students at the Carlos III University of Madrid interact with contextualized learning objects and services. The technology defining the contextualized learning environments is first introduced and later used in two user experiments. These experiments provide data both about the learning outcomes for students after interacting with smart learning objects and services and about the motivational impact that the use of these technologies have on them.
