  2. 1. From blended learning to learning onlife : ICTs, time and access in higher education

    Author : Anders Norberg; Nafsika Alexiadou; Eva Mårell-Olsson; Isa Jahnke; Pavel Zgaga; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; blended learning; distance learning; e-learning; online learning; ICTs; synchronous learning; asynchronous learning; philosophy of information; learning onlife; pedagogiskt arbete; educational work;

    Abstract : Information and Communication Technologies, ICTs, has now for decades being increasingly taken into use for higher education, enabling distance learning, e-learning and online learning, mainly in parallel to mainstream educational practise. The concept Blended learning (BL) aims at the integration of ICTs with these existing educational practices. READ MORE

  4. 2. Playing and Learning Across Locations: : Indentifying Factors for the Design of Collaborative Mobile Learning

    Author : Daniel Spikol; Marcelo Milrad; Jakob Tholander; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Supported Collaborative Learning; Mobile; Location-based services; Pervasive computing; Ubiquitous computing; Design-based research; Co-Design; Education; Games; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Other information technology; Övrig informationsteknik; Media Technology; Media Technology;

    Abstract : The research presented in this thesis investigates the design challenges associated with the development and use of mobile applications and tools for supporting collaboration in educational activities. These technologies provide new opportunities to promote and enhance collaboration by engaging learners in a variety of activities across different places and contexts. READ MORE

  5. 3. Situation awareness in pervasive computing systems : reasoning, verification, prediction

    Author : Andrey Boytsov; Christian Becker; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; situation awareness; context awareness; pervasive computing; ubiquitous computing; context prediction; Pervasive Mobile Computing; Distribuerade datorsystem;

    Abstract : The paradigm of pervasive computing aims to integrate the computing technologies in a graceful and transparent manner, and make computing solutions available anywhere and at any time. Different aspects of pervasive computing, like smart homes, smart offices, social networks, micromarketing applications, PDAs are becoming a part of everyday life. READ MORE

  6. 4. Environmental Modelling : Learning from Uncertainty

    Author : John M. Juston; Per-Erik Jansson; Jens Christian Refsgaard; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Models; data; error; uncertainty; hydrology; soil carbon; wetlands; phosphorus;

    Abstract : Environmental models are important tools; however uncertainty is pervasive in the modeling process.   Current research has shown that under­standing and representing these uncertainties is critical when decisions are expected to be made from the modeling results. READ MORE

  7. 5. Plug and play context-awareness for pervasive environments

    Author : Katharina Rasch; Ayani Rassul; Alois Ferscha; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pervasive systems; context-awareness; service discovery; machine learning; automatic service annotation; preference mining;

    Abstract : Pervasive environments are physical environments interwoven with a rich set of embedded sensors, actuators and displays offering their services to the user. The considerable amount of computing technology in such environments should be as unobtrusive as possible, aiding the user in everyday activities instead of being distracting. READ MORE
