Abstract :
Collaborative learning is one of the intense topics from electronic learning (e-learning) to pervasive learning (p-learning) based on the diverse technology. This study attempts to shift the paradigm from e-learning to p-learning by combining pervasive computing technology. We consider students around the campus need to learn anytime anywhere except formal learning in the classroom. Consequently, this paper proposes an informal learning system called CoLeP to support pervasive learning. CoLeP system overcomes the existing learning problems such as learning in the fixed locations, teaching students accordingly with their aptitude, and interacting with limited devices. Finally, this work identifies three major contributions: (1) sharing knowledge immediately, (2) discussing collaboratively, and (3) learning anytime and anywhere.
