Paper Abstract:
|
Location-based services are rapidly becoming accessible to a wide audience using the GPS available in many mobile
phones. However, an even wider audience can be reached using positioning based on the GSM cell, a technique which is
available on many more phones, and which is a solution that also works indoors and underground which is not the case
for GPS receivers. In this paper, we describe a study in which a location-based reminder system has been developed for
mobile learning in chemistry. The results indicate that such location-based reminders are useful for detecting m-learning
opportunities, and that the respondents saw these opportunities as bonus studying time, when they would not have done
anything else anyway. Most respondents were also more positive about studying chemistry on their mobile phones after
the study than before the study. |
