title = "TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AMBIENT LEARNING ENVIRONMENT - IMPORTANT AMBIENT FACTORS INFLUENCING LEARNING PROCESSES THAT CAN BE MANAGED BY TECHNOLOGY",
abstract = "For many years, research has addressed the influence of external factors on the learning process. Plato and Aristotle already described environmental elements that shape character and learning [1, 2]. In modern pedagogy, various studies found that environmental factors such as noise levels, lighting conditions and even temperature can promote or hinder the learning process [3, 4, 5]. The aim of this paper is to identify all known ambient factors that influence learning processes based on a literature review purposing the development of an ambient learning environment (ALE). The ALE is a technology-enriched room in which networked technical devices exist that automatically communicate with each other. This physical-technical holistic system creates a context-sensitive learning space including a management tool for adjusting the room components to create optimal conditions for the individual learning process. According to Mikulecky, the overreaching goal for such a smart learning environment (SLE) is to enable learning with the right resources, presented at the right time [6]. For the development of the ALE, the authors primarily consider ambient influencing factors that can be adapted through technical solutions. Therefore, a technically motivated literature review was conducted and the results were supplemented with information on their relevance to the ALE. In addition, design implications for the ALE are derived. As a holistic system, an ALE must be aware of all factors simultaneously, reconcile them with each other, and control them accordingly.",

title = "TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMART LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS - DEVELOPMENT OF A WEB-BASED SURVEY TOOL FOR VISUALIZING INDIVIDUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS VIA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE",
abstract = "In recent years, research in the field of smart learning environments (SLE) has dealt extensively with various technical possibilities that could realize such spaces. According to Mikulecky [1], the overarching goal of an SLE is to enable learning in the right place with the right resources, presented at the right time. However, achieving these objectives requires more than technological advancement, it also requires the active involvement of users during design, configuration and usage. To simultaneously provide users with an engaging experience during a participatory design process and ensure the collection of valid data for the SLE concept, a web-based interactive survey tool named {"}DuoLero{"} was developed. DuoLero generates an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-produced image of the environment to be based on a user-decided parameter set, which can be evaluated according to various factors. This way the tool collects users' individual preferences which then can be included into the SLE design. DuoLero was created using a human-centered design process [2], including a literature review and the subsequent design and implementation phase. It can then be provided to participants on a device e.g., a tablet. This paper describes the development process and the design of DuoLero. Besides collecting preferences, the authors also explore how users perceived the SLE visualization. The evaluation was integrated directly into the tool, turning a static survey into an engaging interactive one. Thus, a tool was created that not only provides an engaging experience for users but also allows to collect valuable research data. The collected data supports further SLE research by capturing preferences that can inform the design of future learning environments such as Ambient Learning Environments (ALE). This work thus contributes to the overarching goal of developing the physical-technical holistic system that creates a context-sensitive learning space to create optimal conditions for the individual learning process [3].",
