The student ID data are stored in the server. Each student receives the student ID data in each cell phone. The cell phone displays the character data (name, affiliation, etc.), the face image and the two-dimensional symbol. As the face image displayed on the cell phone is large enough in comparison with the photograph size of the conventional ID card, the precision is improved when the examiner compares the displayed face image to the live face. The student ID can be used not only when the examiner's terminal can communicate with the server, but also when it cannot communicate with the server. The cost for issuing or reissuing a student ID by using the proposed method is very low in comparison with the conventional student ID card. The prototype has been implemented and evaluated.","PeriodicalId":104410,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education (WMTE'05)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126799466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore important to examine differences between standard educational interactions, and possibilities offered by handheld devices. Handheld computers allow the opportunity to study at times and locations where individualised interactions would not normally be possible or convenient. Conditions in such locations may differently affect a user's choice of task or ability to carry out an activity successfully. This paper introduces two adaptive systems: (1) a system that adapts to learner knowledge as in a standard intelligent tutoring system, but also to time availability for study and location-related features of concentration level and likelihood of interruption; (2) a system providing easy access to commonly used files, applications and tasks, according to location of use.","PeriodicalId":104410,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education (WMTE'05)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127560029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years a new direction has been to extend these to support personal development planning (PDP) and student portfolio management. A major limitation of such approach is that the plans and portfolios are owned by the institution, and do not support learning across institutions or in the workplace. We describe the development of an interactive logbook (IL) which provides students with a suite of mobile tools for multimedia note-taking, knowledge sharing, learning management and personal development planning. The IL environment is designed to be owned by the student and offers interoperability with a wide range of existing software for learning and office work.","PeriodicalId":104410,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education (WMTE'05)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132606770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under this situation, the information from Internet is being transported easily; moreover, the realization of cordless navigating GPS based on satellites may use RFID tags and GPS to locate. To support the foreigners to learn Japanese polite expressions, we had implemented a PDA-based language learning supporting system of Japanese polite expressions learning, named Japanese polite expressions learning assisting system (JAPELAS) ( Yin C et al., 2005).

Three system versions were presented to discuss design issues and the results of three trials (the largest with more than 100 users). Eight design implications resulted from those trials. 1) Base the navigation interface on maps designed for walking. 2) Precise zooming is adequate for standing use only; button based coarse zooming is adequate for walking. 3) Good navigation support does not only cover the current situation, but also captures the past and supports planning. 4) Visualise imprecision of location information appropriately. 5) Chat-based communication is inadequate for many game situations. Carefully designed oral communication would be more appropriate in many situations. 6) Embed competitive awareness into the other channels. 7) Design explicitly for standing and walking use. 8) Design systems for user pairs.

More specifically, the use of visual codes (Rohs M. et al., 2004) attached to locations and objects within a museum and park in Lancaster enable the retrieval of Web based information to be triggered by capturing images using the integrated CCD camera. Moreover, the location and orientation of the phone are used as contextual parameters in order to control the specific information to be retrieved by the system. The prototype described in this paper is currently under evaluation by groups of children in Lancaster in order to evaluate the use of this platform for teaching and learning. Our aim was to establish whether or not this user interaction technique could be harnessed for education based applications targeted at young children.","PeriodicalId":104410,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education (WMTE'05)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115712474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
