MADAR learning: An interoperable environment for Eon6;M learning

摘要

The rapid development we have been witnessing for some decades has placed digital information and computer networks at the core of most components of professional and individual life. Learning is one of the crucial fields of activity that have benefited from such technological development. During the last decade, integration of ICT gave birth to what is now called E-learning. The trend towards mobile technologies led to M-learning at the beginning of the current decade. The happening of these two learning environments has raised several research interrogations that revolve around the need to tap the progress by each one of these two environments for the benefit of the other. Our research group deals with this issue too. Coexistence between E and M learning has brought about the need for interoperability, which involves maximum use of technological breakthroughs in both environments and makes it, therefore, possible to build up an educational heritage, regardless of the technological learning tools used. We try to present our approach to create an E&M learning continuum.
