Sensor Based Interaction Mechanisms in Mobile Learning.

This contribution discusses the possibilities for mobile interaction and learning, facilitated by the increasing use of sensors in mobile devices. Each sensor provides information which is useful in certain learning contexts and allows for distinct interaction mechanisms. However a model is required how to collect the sensor data and connect it to the learning environment and content. A suitable architecture is described and the steps of the information flow are explained. Future prospects to enhance mobile interaction with more natural ways of communication supported by sensors are given.
