Context
aware ubiquitous learning is a computer supported learning paradigm for
identifying learners' surrounding environment and social situation to
provide integrated, interoperable, pervasive, and seamless learning
experiences. The objective of context aware ubiquitous learning is to
move Web and mobile learning a step further from learning at anytime
anywhere to be at the right time and right place with right learning
resources and right learning peers.

Aalborg University (Denmark) are organising an international seminar on
Innovating Problem Based Learning through Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT).
The aim of the seminar is to share the experiences
and the learning generated by researchers and pedagogical designers
using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to innovate teaching and learning with the national and
international community. Many researchers are participating in
international projects employing Problem Based Learning (PBL) and
similar concepts in international contexts. ICT is often the vehicle
for collaboration and transformation. The seminar focuses on the
integration of ICT and problem oriented project-based learning and more
generally on issues and aspects related to the transformation of
face-to-face learning into innovative teaching and learning using ICT.
The seminar shares a special interest in understanding intercultural
conditions for the ICT and learning transformation process such as
pedagogical traditions, human resources and competence building, and
social and cultural issues.
Additional information about the seminar can be found here .
