Such apps read phone sensors, record and provide live plots of data.

Hi Xavier, thanks for the paper, i look forward your thoughts on it.
Dear Christothea, the sensor technology is today widely applied in education, especially in mobile (ubiquitous) learning environments. we can use the sensor based applications for example to:
- control and manage the student's work in real places of learning (garden, museum..) .
- asses the interaction value of a student with the learning objects and with other students or instructors.
Dear Sofiane, thanks for your reply.
However, I'm particularly interested in how sensor-based mobile applications like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.greengin.sciencetoolkit might be used to support e.g., science education. What kind of investigations might be of interest to students and be done using such apps? How would you use it in formal education?
Thanks
Thea
Using just sensor data can you figure out where you are? http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mmv/papers/10icra-joydeep.pdf There are a number of lines of research into robot localization that students might be interested in working on.
Thanks Yosef, yes there is a GPS sensor which usually works automatically. Robotics might be a good area for students.
My Pleasure.
The GPS Sensor gives an accuracy of about 3 meters (I believe) and only works outdoors. 3 meters could place the robot in the next room..
Wifi + Bluetooth localization might work very well for your use case.
There are a number of Robotics education programs in the works these days.
