Abstract

Nowadays, mobility offers potential opportunities for student’s learning. The well-known paradigm “learning anywhere anytime” is possible thanks to mobile terminals and wireless technologies that solve the limited access of wired technologies for usage due to lack of mobility. In this scenario, many projects are dealing with the use of mobility to solve specific learning activities in different environments. This chapter presents a project called Campus Ubicuo and its architecture. The novelty of this system is the integration of several wireless technologies in an only mobility learning environment. The development of the project has been divided in four parts, isolating the user interface from the communication model and from the data management. This means that the system is available in different contexts and could be easily adaptable to several organizations such as hospitals, schools, or city councils. We explain how this architecture has been designed and developed to become a solid base of mobility learning systems.
