Abstract

Recent advances in computing and telecommunication technology have made powerful wearable computers available. They are always connected to a wireless infrastructure with batteries and last an entire day, all for reasonable price. Examples of such computers currently available on the market are Google Glass wearable intelligent glasses and the Sony Smartwatch wearable wristwatch. For the first time, interconnected devices worn by the professor that communicate with a large computing infrastructure permit massive data extraction (known as “big data” resources), which can be data-mined to monitor the knowledge-building process, thus maximizing efficiency in higher education environments.
