Chen, Min; Yu, Sheng Quan; Chiang, Feng Kuang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
Most ubiquitous learning researchers use resource recommendation and retrieving based on context to provide contextualized learning resources, but it is the kind of one-way context matching. Learners always obtain fixed digital learning resources, which present all learning contents in any context. This study proposed a dynamic ubiquitous learning…
