NSERC/CNRL/Xerox/McGraw-Hill Industrial Research Chair in Adaptivity and Personalization in Informatics

移动的和传感器技术的最新进展已经开始引起研究和开发 它利用学习者的位置、环境、邻近性和情境来情境化学习 过程这些无处不在的场景中的适应性和个性化具有新的含义， 真实性，通过学习者附近可用的物理对象与虚拟 实时信息。这样的环境不仅通过扩大获得教育的机会来打破教育障碍， 谁不能参加一个物理教室，但也增加了教学的丰富性，通过整合多种 教学，情境化和实时位置感知学习的来源，从而克服了 课堂学习的局限性。泛在学习是一个新兴的领域，有许多研究方向 随着研究的继续而发展。这个椅子计划的重点是研究创造一个基础设施， 使学习者、教师和培训者能够参与有效的学习和教学过程， 学员在教室外的真实现场情况下进行教学活动。拟议 研究计划将设计，开发和实施无处不在的学习分析方法和技术， 调查和分析真实的无处不在的学习环境中的学习/培训进度， 在发现学习/培训过程中的困难时进行指导干预。

Recent advances in the mobile and sensor technologies have started to give rise to research and development that takes advantage of learner's location, environment, proximity and situation to contextualize the learning process. Adaptivity and personalization in these ubiquitous scenarios have taken on a new meaning by bringing authenticity, through seamless integration of physical objects available in the learner's vicinity with virtual information in real-time. Such environments not only break barriers to education by widening access to those who cannot attend a physical classroom but also increase the richness of instruction by integrating multiple sources of instruction, contextualization and real-time location-aware learning, hence overcoming the limitations of classroom learning. Ubiquitous learning is an emerging area and a number of research directions are evolving as research continues. This Chair program focuses on research for creating an infrastructure that enables learners, teachers and trainers to engage in effective learning and instruction processes where learners and trainees undertake instructional activities in authentic on-site situations outside of classroom. The proposed research program will design, develop and implement ubiquitous learning analytics methods and techniques to investigate and analyze learning/training progress in authentic ubiquitous learning environments and enable instructional interventions as and when difficulties in the learning/training process are identified.
