Abstract

The proliferation of advanced learning technologies, such as integrableware, learning object, and learning design, have prompted the development of strategies to enhance the semantics of learning resources. Such strategies are characterized by the sharing of procedural information (posts, notes, questions, assignment, etc.) during the learners’ learning process, the perpetual evolution of resource content via collaborative editing, and the creation of a new resource construction mode based on Web 2.0. In this paper, a novel learning resource framework known as “learning cell” is proposed. This framework is intended to enable generative, evolving, intelligent, and adaptive learning resources in future u-learning. Learning cell provides a design model for future seamless learning spaces supported by pervasive computing technology.
