The method uses a mathematical model, distinguishes two kinds of Learning Objects Properties and proceeds in two major steps: first, the Course Creation is transformed into Set Covering under specific requirements derived from Learning Theories and practice; second, the Alternative Learning Sources are selected by using a similarity measure specially defined for this purpose.
This includes a aggregated quantitative and qualitative analysis of the specific mobile learning activities as they connect to learning theories, specifically behaviorist, constructivist, situated, and collaborative learning.
These learning theories might explain the immediate improvement in knowledge.
Many of the studies cited a specific theoretical foundation, predominantly situated learning theory, and applied this to the design of the mobile learning environment.
Pedagogical knowledge is the knowledge about teaching and learning that is not topic-specific, such as knowledge of learning theory, classroom management, and student motivation.
Examples include appreciation of learning theory, Hebbian principles, task-specific training, social influences, mechanisms of verbal encoding and the interplay across brain modalities (such as influence of deafferentation on motor function).
The presented evolution strategies also integrate the merits of users' predefined algorithms, group interaction and learning theory to approach the best solutions of specific problems.
The PEAK program highlights the importance of small group achievement of specific tasks (social cognitive theory) and of independent and experiential learning situated in clinical practice (adult learning theory).
In doing so, we demonstrate how specific design decisions, in the development of this longer-term iterative design project, conjoin Human Computer Interaction practice and learning theory for situated language learning.
