Introduction:
Learning Cell is a new model for organizing learning resources. This model is open, evolving, cohesive, social and context-aware. By introducing a time dimension into the organization of learning resources, Learning Cell supports the dynamic evolution of learning resources while they are being used. In addition, by introducing a semantic gene (knowledge ontology) into the model, Learning Cell can describe the internal structure and external relations of learning resources more flexibly, allowing the evolution of learning resources to be controlled in a well-organized way. Furthermore, by employing a computational model of a social cognition networks, Learning Cell enables not only materialized resource sharing but also the sharing of social cognition networks. Finally, by separately deploying resource structures and resource content in the cloud storage model, Learning Cell achieves context awareness of ubiquitous learning resources.
