EduConnect: uma ferramenta de apoio a aprendizagem colaborativa para dispositivos móveis em redes wi-fi direct

Abstract

Current technologies have evolved for ubiquitous computing expanding collaboration in knowledge construction. The present work aims to study the tool EduConnect, aiming to demonstrate the use of decentralized tool for mobile devices, a proposal to support collaborative learning, which uses the Wifi Direct networks to facilitate the transfer of information between students and teachers without the use of the Internet. Technological possibilities offered are in keeping with changes in the profile of the new apprentices. The methodology is a quantitative approach to the empirical method of formative nature for the use of collaborative learning and interaction in collaborative systems. The tool is able to create a wireless network MANET to connect different devices (smartphones and tablets), send and store content between them, without the use of internet and speed higher than that used in bluetooth technology.
