Highly mobile, context-aware, and pro-active services provide significant benefits to education. The WMUTE track provides a forum to present and discuss technologies, teaching and learning strategies and applications as well as to map out directions for future developments and research collaborations.

 

The scope of this track covers, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • Wireless communication and computing technologies for learning
  • Mobile augmented reality tools and technologies applied to learning
  • Learning in connection with Industry 4.0 / Cyber Physical Systems
  • Multimodal learning and applications
  • Theoretical foundations for mobile and ubiquitous learning
  • Emerging tools and technologies for mobile and ubiquitous learning
  • Learning strategies for mobile and ubiquitous learning
  • Innovative digital content for mobile and ubiquitous learning
  • Context-aware learning: Design and Application of learning across different contexts
  • Sensor-based applications and learning support
  • Intelligent, pro-active infrastructures and tools for education
  • Internet of Things support for learning
  • Tangible, natural-language user interfaces in education
  • Applications of mobile and ubiquitous learning
