Title :
Including user devices and context into STEM education for minorities
Abstract :
Learning process can be enhanced by offering students, resources that are closer to their reality. Besides, the wide use of Mobile devices brings the opportunity to go beyond classrooms and computer based learning objects. The AUTO4L Framework for personalized automated composition of Web resources based the user context. AUTO4L is highly applicable to STEM classrooms. The philosophy of AUTO4L allows to students and teachers working collaboratively in order to create dynamic learning resources. AUTO4L integrates these resources with user preferences and context. AUTO4L offers a personal experience based in Mobile devices. This paper discusses the ways in which AUTO4L could be used to extend STEM beyond walls.
