Abstract
In this article, we present the vision of a context-aware system that supports educators and offers students what we call playful coached learning (PCL).
Insights
- A system that is aware of real-world interactions strongly contributes to the user’s sense of interaction and exchange.
- Adding gamification is not enough. PCL should also consider a student’s emotions.
- Learning with a context-aware system can be a relief for students and educators, increasing their autonomy.
- PCL is a good example of a combinatory innovation.
