Paper Abstract:
|
Mobility across multiple learning arenas is critical to learning, especially in practice based education. Mobility can
however impact negatively on students feeling of being connected to others, with consequences on knowledge sharing
and learning. Feeling connected requires awareness of other persons involved in the learning process, as well as
awareness of the ongoing learning processes. In this paper we discuss how mobile and ubiquitous awareness applications
could be used to promote the feeling of connectedness among students, considering not only social aspects but also
pedagogical and intellectual connectedness. We present a scenario where different awareness applications are used to
promote different needs of mobile students. The focus in the scenario is on teacher education, as a specific case of
practice based education. The scenario is discussed in terms of requirements and is then evaluated. |
