2. Computer Technology Institute RU3 1. We develop applications for education 2. We apply our knowledge in different contexts (i.e. to develop non- educational uses of our technologies) CHI, 3 April 2000Computer Technology Instituteirene.mavrommati@cti.gr

3. state Preliminary stages of a research concept (rg. informal education) Customizable, situation dependant learning Aim: to evoke discussion and thought, rg situated interaction for the benefit of learning CHI, 3 April 2000Computer Technology Instituteirene.mavrommati@cti.gr

4. CTI RU3 - education research proposal: Services via devices Use of various devices for different environments Facilitating the customization of learning CHI, 3 April 2000Computer Technology Instituteirene.mavrommati@cti.gr

5. framework devices can be adapting to the environment and the situation… Some low level examples Mobiles adapting the volume level according to the environmental noise Mobile domain devices displaying context / location related information Sensing proximity to start up an application or trigger a state of the device CHI, 3 April 2000Computer Technology Instituteirene.mavrommati@cti.gr

6. framework devices or applications that change behavior according to the situation of use Biometrics for interacting with dramatic plot Recognition of the existence of other devices and use of them. Personalization, sharing information with other devices, filtering. CHI, 3 April 2000Computer Technology Instituteirene.mavrommati@cti.gr

7. situated interaction for learning Research proposals: use of different devices for different learning environments facilitating the customization of learning by agent technologies. ( personalization / situation specific use) Aim: use of combined networked media for education (incl. interactive TV, mobile personal devices, etc) CHI, 3 April 2000Computer Technology Instituteirene.mavrommati@cti.gr

8. method Mapping the educational activities in the different spaces Using the characteristics of each space, for optimizing learning in each environment Seeing learning as a global activity within all environments Then breaking down an educational application scenario to different media, tailored according to context of use.
