Abstract

The main aim of the project is to propose a QR-based U-Learning Material Production System (QR-ULMPS) to develop context-aware u-learning environment during outdoor learning activities. As portability and mobility are necessary factors for an authentic outdoor learning experience, our QR-ULMPS needed to incorporate versatile mobile devices. With the help of word net tool and natural language processing technique, synonyms and antonyms are being generated for the difficult words in context aware u-learning materials. We can tag images, videos and audios for the content to reduce the technical barrier for the u-learning student’s. The application of QR code technology not only support students in accessing online information materials via mobile devices, but also fulfilled all of the context-aware ulearning environment needs of teachers using the system. Issues are resolved by QRULMPS during conventional outdoor teaching approaches, which are often very time-consuming and labor intensive.
