A reference model and technical framework for mobile social software for learning

Abstract

In this paper we will present a reference model for mobile learning and provide some examples of its application to current literature in mobile social software for learning. The reference model together will form the basis for a technical framework for contextual media for learning that will be also described in this paper. Moreover, we will describe an example of the practical application of the technical framework in the development of the ContextBlogger application. The paper concludes with a summary of the experience we had so far and an outlook on research we plan to do in the future.
