Abstract:
We present the OPPIA platform, a ubiquitous and smart learning environment, that deploys sporadic learning
networks (SLNs) among people (students, teachers and experts) who happen to be in a common place or in
a remote place but connected to the platform through the Internet. The idea is to establish dynamic learning
networks that encourage their members to work together and create a learning environment with proper
resources and activities to satisfy their learning needs. This paper describes the design of the platform from
the lowest levels of establishing connections among members of the SLNs, up to the highest level of smart
learning services.
