“…Learning strategies and technologies have evolved together, helping each other to advance in their specific knowledge and integration. In this sense, mobile and ubiquitous technologies have fostered learning strategies through the creation of mobile learning (m-learning) [28], [29], [30] and ubiquitous learning (u-learning) [31], [32], [33]. M-learning is an evolution of e-learning that allows students to carry learning environments on their mobile devices.…”

Language learners often face communication problems when they need to express themselves and do not have this ability. On the other hand, continuous advances in technology create new opportunities to improve second language (L2) acquisition through context-aware ubiquitous learning (CAUL) technology. Since vocabulary is the foundation of all language acquisition, this article presents the ULearnEnglish, an open-source system to allow ubiquitous English learning focused on incidental vocabulary acquisition. To evaluate the proposal, 15 learners used the system developed, and 10 answered a survey based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Results indicate a favorable response to the use of the learner context to assist them in their learning. The ULearnEnglish achieved an acceptance of 78.66% for the perception of the utility, 96% for the perception of ease of use, 86% for user context assessment, and 88% for ubiquity. This study presented a positive response in using the location of users to assist their learning. Among the main contributions, this study demonstrates an opportunity for ubiquity use in future research in language learning. Also, furthers studies can use the source available to evolve the model and system.

“…This data can be used by applications to change its own behaviour and for decision-making. The prediction mechanism can be imagined like a small "black box" capable of being implemented as a "pluggable" module in a large middleware, such as Percontrol (Leithardt et al, 2012), EXEHDA (Execution Environment for High Distributed Applications) (Yamin, 2004), Continuum (Costa, 2008), or provided as a service in some UbiComp platform, based on SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture).…”

This paper presents the results regarding a technique that can be used as an underlying mechanism for situation prediction. We analysed a hybrid neural network called Multi-output Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (MANFIS) and compared its predictive ability with a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). The results demonstrate that, depending on the application, the use of neural networks can be considered to be a good approach for situation prediction, when combined with other techniques.

“…Learning strategies using technologies have the potential to improve the methods applied in education settings. In this sense, mobile and ubiquitous technologies have promoted learning strategies through mobile learning [26][27][28][29][30] and ubiquitous learning [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Since mobility enables learning to occur disassociated from fixed spaces, the practices with technology can be an alternative for those subjects who, due to health problems, cannot be present in a conventional classroom, such as children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment.…”

Learning and Well-Being in Educational Practices with Children and Adolescents Undergoing Cancer Treatment

The use of information communication technologies (ICT) in education brings up new possibilities of promoting learning and health experiences. In this sense, education contexts of the 21st century must consider these two areas of knowledge, especially their integration. This article presents learning practices developed with mobile devices and games in order to improve learning and well-being in children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment in a non-formal educational setting. The methodology is based on qualitative case studies with content-based data analyses, involving informal interviews and observation methods. The study considers data from five patients who participated in the research between 2015 and 2019. The results demonstrate a positive influence of the practices with mobile technologies and games in terms of learning and in the well-being experience of patients during the treatment.
