Abstract
Ubiquitous learning environment confronts a set of challenges. First, how to make use of technology without losing pedagogical aspect of learning. Second, how to specify evaluation dimensions, aspects and criteria—what to evaluate, how we evaluate and what to take into account to evaluate. In order to response to these questions, we begin by reviewing the literature to determine challenges and evaluation’s dimensions introduced by the ubiquitous learning environment. And then we introduce a proposed framework of evaluation ubiquitous learning that treat the issue of how considering contextual dimension from a technological point of view. This framework is considered in our researches that are interested in developing ubiquitous learning environments based on wireless and sensor technologies. Finally, we detail how we exploit this framework to evaluate a realistic case study.
