Ubiquitous smartphone platform for K-7 students learning geography in Taiwan

With the rapid development of handheld devices, Ubiquitous Learning becomes more and more popular and has attracted many researchers in the field of E-Learning. Geography learning can be further adapted into smartphone platform with its mobility and GPS capability to be a useful learning system. In Taiwan, Junior high school students are conducted an experiment to assess the smartphone to study Geography. With simple test items, the proposed system generates individual learning profile and test analysis report for each student. After the experiment in one semester, the final-term examination for experiment and control groups was counted and compared. The experimental result shows that the students, which learned with proposed system, in the experimental group achieved better leaning efficiency by learning with ubiquitous Geography learning system assistance.
