A Collaboratory Ubiquitous Pedagogical Model Villardier, L., Saliah-Hassane, H., Do, K.L.

Abstract: A Collaboratory Ubiquitous Pedagogical Model Recent works on Ubiquitous system research underline the necessity of designing adaptive user interfaces that integrate resources such as video, voice, chat, application sharing, white board and brainstorming so as to adequately address the various needs of contextual training. The present paper proposes a learning and teaching model based on telepresential technologies supporting online laboratory environments. Wehave created various pedagogical scenarios based on collaborative strategies and appropriate resources, to generate and manage distributed intelligent and adaptative teletraining environments. Such scenarios permit synchronous transactional and interpersonal interactions among actors involved in e-learning and e-teaching processes. The groupware ECHO , developed in our research program, is used to validate our proposed Collaboratory Ubiquitous Model. The ECHO architecture, based on Web services technology, guarantees the interoperability required in optimally exploiting and managing online laboratories.
