Towards Blended Learning Environment Based on Pervasive Computing Technologies

Abstract

Abstract. Nowadays Internet-based multimedia learning has been entered into our daily life over various end user devices including mobile phone. Whereas, participating in the classroom and book reading are still major modalities of learning. Pervasive computing technologies will accelerate the progress and help to build a more convenient learning environment for learners. Smart Space technologies can augment real classroom to help teachers and students having class with the support of natural tangible UIs and context aware aids where teaching is still in a similar fashion with what happens in traditional classroom. Books can also be fabricated with bits for browsing multimedia learning materials. Bits from cyberspace and atoms from real world will be more and more blended into each other. And learning will be pervasive and blended which is beyond today's e-learning.

A blended learning model with IoT-based technology: effectively used when the COVID-19 pandemic?

“…Abowd (1999) used the Smart Space concept of IBM to design Classroom 2000, which is able to capture the lecture experience and broadcast it live or record it. Suo et al (2008) stated how, in the cyberspace world of IoT, students can use several Pervasive computing devices to discuss in the same classroom in the real-world or connect multiple classrooms together. 4) In Ubiquitous, Augmented Reality and/or Context-aware solutions can foster anywhere learning in the real-world with relative digital information.…”

“…Garrison and Vaughan (2011) said BL courses were required to fuse together a range of F2F and online learning to meet quality challenges and serve disciplinary goals effectively and efficiently. BL was differently defined by respective technologies in that time; web-based, distance learning, e-learning, and pervasive process technology (Suo & Shi, 2008;Driscoll, 2010;2002;. The latest of these, Norberg (2017;, considered BL to be an ongoing long-term integration of ICT into the normality of education practice.…”

“…There are many problems with traditional learning held at a main learning place which BL tries to solve using new technologies, including weak scalability and lack of fidelity (Ratto et al 2013;Suo et al 2009;Shi et al 2003;Johanson et al 2002;Abowd, 1999). Suo and Shi (2008) shared the new idea of Smart Space technology that keeps the classroom as the main learning place and uses e-learning and new functions to foster learning experiences. Students can remotely join the class and report their feedback when they are not seated in the classroom.…”

Blended Learning Model with IoT-based by Smartphone

“…Besides, BL can combine the online computer or electronic media with F2F to meet challenges and serve learning goals effectively and efficiently [10] [28]. Later, BL course abled to combine online e-learning with traditional classroom to reduce the time of students' attendance by online learning instead [7][13] [41]. So, BL was an ongoing long-term integration of information communication technology into education practice normality [3][4].…”

Enhancing the learning experience in blended learning systems

“…Also learning materials were produced and delivered in digital form instead of the printed form [2]. The arrival of multimedia and hypermedia technologies enabled the delivery of learning materials through CD ROMs thereby improving the effectiveness of learning [4]. …”
