In this paper we describe a session management system for setting up various collabora- tive classroom ,scenarios. The approach ,is addressing the additional workload ,of administrating classroom networks on the teacher, which is an important aspect for teachers' willingness to im- plement technology enhanced,learning in schools. The system facilitates preparation of classroom scenarios and the adhoc installation of networked collaborative sessions. We provided a graphical interface, which is usable for administration, monitoring, and for specification of a wide variety of different classroom ,situations with group work. The resulting graphical specifications are well suited to be re-used in the more formal learning design format IMS/LD; this is achieved by a auto- matable transformation of the scenarios to LD documents. Keywords: Collaborative classroom scenarios, lightweight classroom orchestration, learning de- sign, shared workspaces.
This paper discusses the efforts carried out related to the design and development of a web-based framework that allows designing, deploying and executing mobile data collecting applications. Furthermore, it also allows analyzing and presenting the data that is generated during the mentioned process. The fact that the framework is completely web-based provides a platform independent execution of the mobile application on any mobile device with a web-browser. As a result that the whole life-cycle of creating, executing and discussing a mobile learning activity is implemented in pure web-based manner separates this work from similar efforts. In the course of this work, the current state of development of two of the components, the authoring tool and the mobile application is presented. This framework was introduced to teachers in an activity to follow up an initial study. On the basis of a workshop with teachers, we performed an explorative study regarding the technology acceptance and usability of two components of the proposed framework. The results are discussed and analyzed in this paper.
Web based security applications have become increasingly important in the past years. Especially in times of blockchain based crypto currencies, user authentication is a critical aspect for the overall security, integrity and acceptance of such systems. While blockchain technologies provide a decentralized approach, the client side still largely relies on centralized security approaches. Those centralized approaches are easier to implement, but at the same time bear the risk of usual security flaws. Therefore, this paper presents a decentralized approach for increasing the security by adding a decentralized two-factor authentication mechanism to the execution of
operations.
This paper deals with the question how to integrate smart devices in Java appli-
cations. It will outline how different smart devices can be used to enrich learning
environments, we will point to some of the problems one has to face while dealing
with smart devices, a differentiation of smart devices will be done and we will give an
overview about existing Java Virtual Machines available for different smart devices.
Furthermore we will tackle the question of the communication between different smart
devices and also between different kinds of smart devices. An outlook to the future
work will also be given at the end of this work
This paper describes a system which allows platform independent access to quizzes of the popular learning platform Moodle. The main focus is on the software architecture which is implemented on the base of platform independent technology like Web Services, HTML5 and JavaScript. Another aspect is the user interface which was developed with the goal to run on a broad range of mobile devices from small mobile phones up to large tablets.
The development of web based applications gained enormous interests in recent years. Most of formerly desktop based applications nowadays provide at least a web based version or are completely re-implemented as web based applications. Nevertheless, from the development point of view, there are still a lot of strategies for the development of web based applications borrowed from the development strategies for desktop applications. Therefore, this paper concentrates on the description of an approach that allows to re-use a from the development of desktop applications well-known Design Pattern with a distinct enhancement for web based applications.
The use of Web Services in modern software development is widely accepted and provides (integrated in an according architecture) a fast, flexible and scalable way for the implementation of modern software products. On the other hand, the development of mobile applications, so called apps, becomes more and more important. While using Web Services also from mobile devices is an already accepted scheme in the development of mobile apps, there is not much work done yet for providing Web Services on mobile devices. Therefore, this paper presents a new perspective to Web Services that could be run on mobile devices and, by this, become mobile Web Services.
