Towards an E-Learning 3.0 Context-Aware Notification System

At present, E-Learning 3.0 is becoming more and more dynamic as it is a rapidly growing learning strategy. This paper focuses on designing and developing an E-Learning 3.0 Context-Aware Notification System for The University of Queensland Blackboard in order to improve students' university activities management and enhance their learning experiences. The conceptual and technical knowledge of Web and E-Learning was studied to form the prototype foundation. A number of design and development stages with various techniques were used to build the Front-end and Back-end of the prototype. The final E-Learning 3.0 Context-Aware Notification System prototype was made up of four components, which were Notification Data Extraction, Prototype Website, RESTful API and Prototype Database. This research project offers conceptual and technological contributions towards E-Learning 3.0 in both of the Front-end and the Back-end perspectives. Prospective works will be focusing on completing the rest of the proposed functions. [For the complete proceedings, see ED601080.]
