Abstract
In this paper, a mobile approach for ambient
learning is presented. As an example of the concept,
modeling is done to deliver educational content on
weather phenomenon to schoolchildren. Information
visualization techniques are utilized to present an
alternative approach of knowledge delivery that could be
considered to be beyond conventional classroom based
teachings.
The concept is demonstrated with the ‘Interactive
Weather Information System’ (IWIS) platform. During
the user tests, the effectiveness of the proposed method on
knowledge conveyance was evaluated. Usability tests
showed that IWIS serves as a good stimulus to captivate
the learning interests of the target user group (children
from 10 to 12 years old). In addition, the new issues that
surfaced could be used as design considerations or factors
in subsequent research work in this area.
