Paper Abstract:
|
The purpose of this article is to provide an efficient approach to more understand and analyze learners' behavior in wireless environment. In such situation, students may move from a location to another one carrying mobile devices (laptop, PDA, 3G phone or card). The comprehension of their mobility seems crucial in order to better develop, deploy, and manage future wireless networks in a training context. For this reason, we propose a general approach to analyze the learners' mobility patterns by the integration of statically (e.g.: infrastructure, Access Points position) and dynamically (e.g.: users' itineraries, accessed data) extracted data in unique dashboard interface. The developed program makes it possible to track real users by providing, in addition to their graph of mobility, various graphics on their space-time behaviors. Moreover, it allows the comparison of behaviors evolution over several periods of time. |
