Online Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Frontiers in Education (FIE) Conference (40th, Arlington, VA, Oct 2010)
This work is intended to describe a framework aimed to address the challenges in the development of mobile Collaborative Learning applications. Firstly, the paper offers an overview of some of the main principles of Collaborative Learning that will be the basis of the framework, which is based on three main pillars: collaboration and communication among students; context-awareness (gathering users' data, such as geo-location, movements, academic information, and history) to provide personalize information and services; and interoperability with e-learning as many organizations use them. Evaluation will be conducted with a group of students of a "Professional Expert Course on Mobile Programming" that will use the framework to build their applications.
