As a result, ubiquitous learning environments have started to emerge with potential to support life-long learning. These environments break the boundaries of the classroom and enable learning to take place in the contexts where learners are able to relate with the learning scenarios in their own living and work environments, leading to better learning experience. This book focuses on the design and architecture of ubiquitous learning environments, associated technologies, various learning scenarios supported by these environments, and various contexts that arise in such environments where seaml...
