Learning in a large-scale pervasive environment

Abstract

The idea of pervasive learning is to create a network of devices, people and situation that allow learning experiences to play out. This idea is attractive, but is not easily implemented. This paper presents a pervasive learning architecture called GlobalEdu which is composed by educational services (ES) and pervasive personal pedagogical agent (P3A) implemented above the ISAM platform. It is a software architecture that manages a large scale pervasive environment. ES expands the ISAM services to educational domain to provide knowledge management, context management, control and communication. P3A is shall always be with the learner, assisting the process of learning, independent of user's device at the moment
