Location-based Services in Smart Education: An Example of Augmented Teaching and Learning Advancement System (Published)

Location-based services in the Smart City development have been used frequently by citizens which open up a new dimension to people’s lives (Kohne & Sieck, 2014; Komninos, 2018). Location-based services are used for routing, marketing, education, emergency, and e-commerce, and there is an increasing need and demand for the applications of Smart City (Adams et al., 2003). This paper looks into one of the wireless communication technologies in location-based services i.e., Bluetooth Low Energy/iBeacon, and a case study of the “Augmented Teaching and Learning Advancement System (ATLAS)” developed by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for teaching and learning purposes; and then demonstrates a case of using location-based services for navigation aid to visually impaired students in the Smart Campus development and future applications in relation to the developments of Smart City.
