Ontological model-driven architecture for ubiquitous learning applications

Abstract

The ubiquitous learning more than a technology phenomenon is a vision that challenges to review the educational environment to propose new educational settings, because it allows to make available to students a wide variety of educational resources, creates new and varied learning environments, personalizes learning and enables the realization of a series of training activities from anywhere, anytime and from any device. This paper presents a proposed architecture to develop ubiquitous learning applications. Based on this architecture will enable the development of applications operating in pervasive computing dynamic environments and adapt to changes in context. This architecture provides also an application development approach based on ontological models that facilitate dynamic and automatic adaptation of the services that are available to the student. The proposed architecture is currently being used to develop different ubiquitous applications to the university level.
