Supporting Real-world Language Learning Based on Ubiquitous Learning Analytics

Abstract

This paper proposes a visualization and analysis system called VASCORLL (Visualization and Analysis system for COnnecting Relationships of Learning Logs) in order to link learners in the real world and learning logs that are accumulated in a cyber space by a ubiquitous learning system called SCROLL (System for Capturing and Reminding of Learning Log). Learning materials provided by ubiquitous learning systems are in most cases, prepared by teachers or instructional designers. It makes it difficult to find relationships between a learner and other learners in different contexts. Using VASCORLL, learners can find other contexts where can be applied to their own learning experiences. This paper describes the design, the implementation of VASCORLL.
