Description
Summary:Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is consolidating its role as a new paradigm and driving force within computer science that exploits the opportunities to deploy distributed intelligent systems supported by new technology. Most of the developments related to AmI so far are concentrated either in the healthcare (e.g. smart homes for the elderly), or automotive (smart cars) sectors. This paper provides an overview of the use of AmI in educational environments. One aim of this article is to increase the awareness of the possibilities that AmI bring to the teaching and learning environment. The other aim of the article is to illustrate the thesis that those possibilities have been so far overlooked around the globe, more noticeable in the UK where other applications of AmI are thriving.
