each network is different in nature and design. They can be divided into four main
groups: bandwidth, availability, delay, loss and error. [10]
From the Chart, it can be seen that the majority of students, 81.3 %, agree that the
learning content will be adapted according to the Network performance, because it helps
them to learn even if the network was slow and it provides them an easy access to the
learning content, 18.8 % of them said no, because they think that it will not make too
much difference, and information is already easily accessible. Others think that a slight
delay isn't much of an issue to warrant learning to be adapted to slow internet.
Question 9: I agree that applying location-based techniques can assist my learning.
Figure 9. Students’ opinion about the use of the location-based techniques to personalise learning
content
Since learning becomes mobile, location becomes an important context, both in terms of
the physical whereabouts of the learner and also the opportunities for learning to become
location-sensitive. The properties and affordances of one’s location vary enormously and
hence other contexts become even more important, such as the task or goal or the user;
the ubiquity of network access (GPS, wifi etc); the time of the year or day or even the
weather. [11]
The results reveal that 15.6 % of students are strongly agree, and 37.5 % of them agree
that applying location-based techniques can assist their learning, because it provides
easier workflow efficiency, also it allows more things to be tailored towards them. The
results also show that 39.1 % of students are neutrals and 7.8 % of them are disagrees,
because they see that their location doesn't really matter when it comes to learning, also
location can be spoofed, causing fraud.
5. Discussion
To understand the most important learning context from the learners’ perspective in the
learning process we have to use the 5 point Likert Scale, with numerical values ranging
from, to give the weight to the responses. For example, for the question about personal
preferences the total responses is 64 and the scale range is 1= strongly disagree, 2=
disagree, 3= neutral, 4= agree and 5= strongly agree and from our data 0 students are
strongly disagree, we will then have 0x1=0, 1 student disagree (1x2=2), 19 students
neutral (19x3=57), 33 students agree (33x4=132) and 11 students strongly agree
