Sažetak
It is our belief that advances in mobile and communication technologies provide a means of driving pedagogical change in traditional educational systems. A prime emerging advantage of these technologies lies in context-aware learning applications which contextualize acquired knowledge and act according to users’ educational and personal circumstances, technologically scaffolding both in-class and out-of-class learning experiences [1]. Mobile devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous essential companions in our daily endeavours, and integrate various sensors (e.g. GPS, camera, motion sensors). Furthermore, these devices are well connected due to the proliferation of mobile broadband connections [2]. Collaborative learning has become an indicator of educational change, in line with the influence of Social Constructivist learning theory [3]. School and university curricula are being changed to seamlessly embedded collaborative activities into existing classrooms, therefore creating not only novel classroom organization, but systematically changing the classroom culture [3]. As this process progresses, we witness implementations in all subject areas ranging from mathematics to biology, electronics, to history, both in primary and secondary schools, as well as at universities.
