Using Semantic Proximities to Control Contextualized Activities during Museum Visits

Abstract

We present in this paper CALM (ContextuAlized Learning through Mobility), an ubiquitous learning environment for museum visits. This environment uses semantic proximities over a semantic model of the domain (cultural heritage) and context (e.g. position in the museum, activity) to offer contextualized activities. Our proposal aims to provide learners with situated interactions, while giving teachers the opportunity to integrate learning objectives that will influence the proposed interactions. To that end, we propose to use semantic rules that enables a loosely-based control of learning activities by the teacher.
