Abstract
This paper motivates contextualized media for learning and starts with a reference model for
describing and analysing contextualized media applications for learning. Based on a more detailed
analysis of the context dimension and contextual parameters taken into account when supporting
mobile and ubiquitous learning a technical framework and its components are presented. The
framework allows to model and implement complex educational scenarios for contextualized learning
and integrates different components and layers necessary. As an example application “ContextBlogger”
is described which implements contextualized blogging support based on APIs of standard blogging
systems and different context sensors as GPS and Semacode. The paper concludes with an outlook on
possible chances and challenges for future research.
