Context-aware Multimodal Interfaces Enhancing Ubiquitous Learning

This paper proposes multimodal interfaces for a mobile learning system called SCROLL (System for Capturing and Reminding of Learning Log). The system is designed to help learners to record what they have learned (called as learning log) and recall their learning logs by providing them with quizzes. With the help of multimodal interfaces, learners can interact with the system by speech and body movements. It not only increases the entertainment of learning but also facilitates learners to use the system in the environment, in which it is not comfortable for learners to watch the display and input with keyboard. Another feature of the interface is that it adapts to the learners’ context. It means that it can suggest learners to choose appropriate way to interact with the device in different environment.
