Paper Abstract:
|
A ubiquitous learning system (u-learning system) allowing user access from a cell phone as well as a personal computer has been developed. The central part of the u-learning system is an on-demand learning assistance function called KUSEL, which is characterized by a user adaptive teaching strategy, a user profile calculated by a Causal network and learning material controlled by the execution plan. KUSEL is implemented by server side Java technology and Web technology. Its learning materials are made available using a Web browser on a personal computer or a special browser on a cell phone. An evaluation of the u-learning system was carried out by a local industry-government-university cooperation group. The main functions of the KUSEL user interface, including the distinctive feature of a user adaptive teaching strategy, were assessed and it was found that these functions of KUSEL had the support of the large majority of PC and cell phone users. |
