Context-aware activity notification systems have potential to improve and support the social experience of online learning. The authors of this chapter have developed a Context-aware Activity Notification System (CANS) that monitors online learning activities and represents relevant contextual information by providing notification and making the learning activity salient to other participants. The chapter describes previous efforts to develop and support online learning context awareness systems; it also defines the critical components and features of such a system. It is argued that notification systems can provide methods for using the context of activity to support members’ understanding of the meaning of activity. When designed and implemented effectively, CANS can turn course management systems (CMS) into technologies of social interaction to support the social requirements of learning.

This study integrates the concept of context-awareness with association algorithms and social media to establish the Context-aware and Social Recommendation System (CASRS). The Simple RSSI Indoor Localization Module (SRILM) locates the user position; integrating SRILM with Apriori Recommendation Module (ARM) provides effective recommended product information. The Social Media Recommendation Module (SMRM) connects to users social relations, so that the effectiveness for users to gain product information is greatly enhanced. This study develops the system based on actual context.

Context-awareness is a quintessential feature of ubiquitous computing. Contextual information not only facilitates improved applications, but can also become significant security parameters – which in turn can potentially ensure service delivery not to anyone anytime anywhere, but to the right person at the right time and place. Specially, in determining access control to resources, contextual information can play an important role. Access control models, as studied in traditional computing security, however, have no notion of context-awareness; and the recent works in the nascent field of context-aware access control predominantly focus on spatio-temporal contexts, disregarding a host of other pertinent contexts. In this paper, with a view to exploring the relationship of access control and context-awareness in ubiquitous computing, the authors propose a comprehensive context-aware access control model for ubiquitous healthcare services. They explain the design, implementation and evaluation of the proposed model in detail. They chose healthcare as a representative application domain because healthcare systems pose an array of non-trivial context-sensitive access control requirements, many of which are directly or indirectly applicable to other context-aware ubiquitous computing applications.

Advances in wireless network and multimedia technologies enable mobile commerce (m-commerce) information service providers to know the location and surroundings of mobile consumers through GPS-enabled and camera-embedded cell phones. Context awareness has great potential for creating new service modes and improving service quality in m-commerce. To develop and implement successful context-aware applications in m-commerce, it is critical to understand the concept of the “context” of mobile consumers and how to access and utilize contextual information in an appropriate way. This article dissects the context construct along both the behavioral and physical dimensions from the perspective of mobile consumers, developing a classification scheme for various types of consumer contexts. Based on this classification scheme, it discusses three types of context-aware applications—noninteractive mode, interactive mode and community mode—and describes newly proposed applications as examples of each.

Research Papers

The availability of huge volumes of online research papers over scholarly communities has been increasing rapidly with the evolution of the Internet. Meanwhile, several researchers confront troubles while retrieving suitable and relevant research papers according to their research necessities due to information overload. Besides, the research necessities vary from researcher to researcher according to their contextual state and the online behavior in sequential access. Conventional recommendation approaches for instance content-based filtering (CBF) and collaborative filtering (CF) utilize content features and rankings correspondingly, in order to produce recommendations for the researchers. In spite of this, it is inevitable to incorporate scholar’s contextual information and sequential access behavior into the recommendation procedure to generate accurate and personalized recommendations for research papers. Conventional recommender systems do not incorporate such information in the recommended procedure to compute similarities of scholars and provide recommendations; thus, they are more liable to produce an irrelevant list of recommendations in a scholarly environment. Moreover, conventional recommendation approaches generate inaccurate recommendations in presence of a high level of sparsity in the rankings. In this article, we introduce a novel method for research paper recommendations that incorporates the benefits of collective filtering (CF), context-awareness, and sequential pattern mining (SPM) to propose research papers to scholars in a hybrid manner. Context-awareness in our methodology involves the scholar's contextual state, such as skill level and research goals; SPM is used to mine weblogs and reveal sequential access actions of scholars, and CF is used to measure predictions based on correlations between scholars and generate context-aware and sequential trend mining based recommendations for the targeted scholars. Experimental evaluations of our approach indicate the excellence of our approach over other baseline approaches in terms of precision, recall, F1, and mean absolute error (MAE).

<p>Online learning has grown considerably in recent years. However attrition rates from online courses indicate that not all learners are successful in such settings, and various factors have been identified as crucial to learner persistence. Research evidence suggests that motivation is one such factor. This study builds on previous studies by using self-determination theory (SDT) as an analytical framework to explore, in-depth, the motivation of pre-service teachers situated within an online learning context. In particular, the underlying concepts of autonomy, competence and relatedness from SDT were adopted as critical lenses to identify social and contextual influences which undermined the psychological needs of these learners. Most prominent among these in the current study were: high workload, assessment pressure, perceptions that the learning activity lacked relevance (autonomy-undermining), unclear and complicated guidelines, insufficient guidance and feedback from the instructor (competence-undermining), and communication issues with peers (relatedness-undermining). By not exclusively focusing on learners’ autonomy needs as others have done, the paper offers a more extensive picture of undermining influences on motivation than has been previously identified in online studies.</p>
