Abstract:
In this study, we propose a method of building a platform that makes learning contents on the Web “Anti-Ubiquitous”; resolving the problem of halting study that ubiquity causes in web-based learning (WBL) and making WBL more effective and beneficial. The Anti-Ubiquitous concept which is opposite to the ubiquitous learning concept, adds constraints to a location and time. Anti-Ubiquitous learning increases the awareness and concentration level of students and promotes effective and substantive learning. However, it is inefficient for each teacher to create Anti-Ubiquitous learning content from scratch. Therefore, our platform aims to make existing online learning content Anti-Ubiquitous. Currently, because so much high-quality learning content such as Open Course Ware and Massive Open Online Course already exists on the Web, the significance of our approach is immense.
