Abstract

Science and engineering education play a very important role in the industrial development of a country. Although most people are aware of the importance of science, students often find science boring and uninteresting as traditional textbooks only provide static information. Students who achieve better usually have practical experiences related to the subject or have been exposed to interactive learning tools. In order to promote science education development, a learning system based on RFID is proposed to provide personalized learning service. This paper introduces the architecture of the proposed service and the technologies used including RFID and collaborative filtering. The contributions of the proposed system and how the profiles are used to provide personalization are also discussed. Evaluations of the system reveal that the system inspires and nurtures their interest in science.
