Abstract

Ubiquitous learning is an emerging research area in which learning occurs at the right time, in the right place, with the help of various technologies. Since ubiquitous learning helps to improve learning, motivation, and creativity, effective ubiquitous learning environments should be designed. Theories, models, and strategies should be considered to design these environments. One of these models is the community of inquiry approach, which has three elements: social presence, teaching presence, and cognitive presence. In this study, social presence is selected as a focus. In this context, the purpose of the study is to present techniques for establishing social presence in ubiquitous learning environments. In line with this purpose, first, ubiquitous learning and social presence are explained. Then, techniques to establish social presence in ubiquitous learning environments are expressed. Following on, a sample ubiquitous learning environment (a ubiquitous history museum) is designed and presented, considering social presence as a specific element.
