3. Learning Content & Tools
Standardization: Challenges
What makes a good standard?
Andrew S. Tanenbaum: “the nice thing about standards
is that there are so many of them to choose from”
What is better?
What is better?
A collection of small related standards
A comprehensive with profiles
What is a good process for adoption?
How to achieve maximum adoption?
3. Learning Content & Tools

6. Immersive 3D Learning
Until now “flat learning”
6. Immersive 3D Learning
Challenges
How to integrate LMSs and 3D environments?
How can the virtual space immersion help to achieve a better learning? help to achieve a better learning?
How to integrate virtual and physical space (cross-reality)?
How to find a perfect mix of avatars and NPCs?

8. M-learning: Challenges
Technological challenges:
improving the computational capabilities of mobile devices
increasing mobile network capacity
improving programming languages for mobile devices
integrating multimedia content
using embedded sensors
interacting with smart environments
8. M-learning: Challenges
Pedagogical challenges:
using mobile devices to support face to face activities
using mobile technology to reinforce traditional e-learning
using mobile devices as an always on channel to provide immediate and personalized feedback
immediate and personalized feedback
controling the learning process with mobile devices
using mobile devices to support meta-cognitive activities
how to use the physical learning context in the learning process in either
8: M-learning: Challenges
Motivational challenges
how to use technology to enhance the motivation of the students
how the increase in the control
of the learning process motivates them of the learning process motivates them
how the interaction with smart objects using mobile devices can also be
a motivational factor for the student
