Mobile collaborative learning using multicast MANETs
TLDR
Simulation results show the feasibility of multicast MANETs to support students' communication and collaboration during these three outdoor educational scenarios.Abstract:
Collaborative learning outside the classroom is vital for many educational disciplines. Three educational scenarios held outdoors are analysed. In the first scenario, students investigate the ancient architecture, archaeological artefacts and historical location at an archaeological site. In the second scenario, students investigate the environmental and natural resource management, endangered species and flora at a national forest. The third scenario describes collaborative game-based learning at outdoors. Multicast Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are employed to support students' communication and collaboration. Simulation results show the feasibility of multicast MANETs to support students' communication and collaboration during these three outdoor educational scenarios.read more

Culture-Aware Collaborative Learning.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest the adaptation of the collaborative learning environment to the learner's cultural profile and present the various communication and collaboration tools and modes that would be available to the learners.

Designing a mobile-app-based collaborative learning system
Christopher Cheong,Vince Bruno +1 more
TL;DR: Approaches such as collaborative learning are better suited for higher-order thinking skills to learners but there is little room to use such methods in the short time frame of a lecture.

Students' thoughts about the importance and costs of their mobile devices' features and services
TL;DR: It was found that students tend to consider the following features important: battery life, mp3 player, video camera, photo camera, storage memory, Bluetooth, design and elegance, clock, calendar, organizer and reminder, and on average, both genders would pay extra money for such features.

Adaptive context-aware pervasive and ubiquitous learning
TL;DR: In pervasive and ubiquitous learning, a learner should be able to freely perform an educational activity possibly cooperating and/or collaborating with others using multiple devices and networks as he moves in an environment.

The evolution of research on collaborative learning
TL;DR: This chapter argues that this shift to a more process-oriented account requires new tools for analysing and modelling interactions and tries to understand the role which such variables play in mediating interaction.
