Abstract
The collaborative learning paradigm offers one of the most solid approaches to increase the participation, interest and knowledge level of pupils (typical achieving and/or learning disabled students) during the educational process. Recent advances in the field have offered a plethora of tools to facilitate collaboration during school time. Nevertheless, the possibility of applying the collaborative learning principles together with personalized exercise/project assignments (whenever deemed necessary) during off school hours is often overlooked. Motivated by the fact that most pupils/students nowadays have access to smart mobile devices, e.g., tablets, in this paper a system architecture (Mobivoke) is proposed that enables the coupling of individual devices into a social group and offers the means to build applications for orchestrating and monitoring the off school learning process in a collaborative manner.
