The proposed system will make questions that correspond to lyrics for EFL (English as Foreign Language) learners studying. This approach focuses on retrieving verb-noun collocations and making appropriate questions automatically. BNC (British National Corpus) has been chosen to calculate mutual information to get the correct collocations, and the synset of Word Net has been used to make wrong candidates which people often make mistakes for using collocations. Therefore the learner can study anytime, anywhere by using mobile devices, proposed mobile application, lyrics reading and music listening.","PeriodicalId":118300,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technology in Education","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124826028","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}

This environment includes the development of a serious game, supported by a web platform and extended to mobile platforms, which is being supervised by the research group GILT (Graphics, interaction & learning technologies) under the frame of an international project. The serious game that has been developed is called \"Time Mesh\". Time Mesh is a funded quasi experimental educational software project which is being developed under the frame of a quality evaluation environment, Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF) (Escudeiro Paula and Bidarra José, 2006), that measures system quality throughout its development life cycle. The quality evaluation process started with a careful planning phase. It has included the purpose of the evaluation, the timing of the evaluation and who should be conducting the evaluation process. Moderating the development of \"Time Mesh\" with QEF assures the quality of the final product.","PeriodicalId":118300,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technology in Education","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123812428","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}

Our research methodology included data collection in which we administered two surveys, collected exam and usage results.

Various devices have been used to implement these approaches. For example, mobile devices have been excellently employed to facilitate outdoor learning, as desktops and laptops have been for indoor collaborative learning. But the use of laptops and desktops for group activities has some limitations like support for limited number of learners who can use a device at a time. Recently, interactive multi-touch tables with shareable interfaces and large displays have reached the market. We propose to integrate all these technologies in a common framework to provide a seamless learning environment providing assistance for learning both indoors and outdoors.","PeriodicalId":118300,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technology in Education","volume":"963 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132416638","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}

This first phase studies demographic differences across age and gender with regards to physical activities, computer games and mobile technology usage in order to develop an adaptive mobile fitness application that requires physical movement by the user while maintaining interest and enjoyment levels. Results indicate significant differences in gender in social activities versus action oriented type games but little difference in types of fitness activities. Across age groups there were some significant differences in terms of their interest in games involving strategy, action and violence. Also of note was that youth in the range of 14-15 tended to view physical activities as more difficult versus those both older and younger than them for the ages we studied. Youth also differed significantly in the type of mobile facilities they used with those older than 13 tending to use G.P.S., music and video facilities much more than those aged 11 to 13. These results have been incorporated into an initial prototype fitness application that will be tested on subjects in the next study phase.","PeriodicalId":118300,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technology in Education","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132787209","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}

The data collected was used to analyse what might have motivated or demotivated the pre-service teachers from using more ICT devices and applications in the classroom, given their experiences during the practicum period. The data collected showed that most of the pre-service teachers did not use highly varied forms of ICT in their classrooms. In fact, for about half of them, PowerPoint presentations and visualisers were about the only forms of ICT used although the ubiquitous computing infrastrucrure is available. The findings have implications for policy makers and teacher training institution to decide how to allocate ICT resources more effectively and what (additional) ICT training to put in place.","PeriodicalId":118300,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technology in Education","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123962889","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}
