Context-aware learning path planner

This paper develops a context-awareness learning path planner. The learning path planner constructs suitable learning path for individual student according to his/her misconceptions of the learning objects and the distances in the real world. Beside the remedy learning path, the planner also provides two guidance messages to students, the moving guidance message and the learning guidance messages. The moving guidance messages are used to lead students traveling from one learning spot to another. The learning guidance messages are used to guide students observing the specific part of the learning objects in order to clear their misconceptions. At the end of this paper, an example is showing how the planner works for learning in a museum.
