Designing a Knowledge Awareness Navigation

Abstract

Ubiquitous learning is characterized by providing intuitive ways for identifying right learning objects, right learning contents and right learning aids in the right place at the right time.Our context aware ubiquitous learning platform applies the GPS and image recognition technology for designing a context-aware function. To help learner locates the right place and the learning objects for ubiquitous learning effectively, this paper introduces a Knowledge Awareness Navigation to support the learners while learning natural herbs in the real worlds. This platform applies GPS and image recognition technology to implement the knowledge awareness navigation for U-learning. It uses the GPS ubiquitous technology to detect the right place for learning which is personalized according to the learner's current need and location, then with the help of the blade image recognition, the learner is able to search relative knowledge of the natural herbs.
