Towards using wearable technologies in mobile learning

Abstract

With the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT), smart wearable technologies have started being used in many fields, such as health, marketing and industry. However, despite the importance of these technologies in enhancing learning experiences, they are not well explored in educational situations. In this context, this study gives a literature review regarding smart wearable technologies and their use in mobile learning. It also presents a newly developed framework, for using wearable technologies in mobile learning, which covers several challenges identified from the literature. The findings of this study can help researchers and practitioners for a better design of mobile learning experiences based on wearable devices.
