Abstract

The concept of learning can be considered as a process which takes place on a space with three dimensions as lifelong learning, life-wide learning and life-deep learning. Lifelong learning is a process which starts at birth and continues uninterruptedly until death. Life-wide learning can be grouped as formal learning, non-formal learning and informal learning depending on the place where learning experiences occur. Life-deep learning includes learning all the religious, moral and social values which define what to believe, how to behave and also how to judge himself/herself and the others. While some of the learning experiences of the individuals take place in physical environments, nowadays it is seen that the importance of learning experiences occur at virtual environments is also increased. Even though formal and non-formal learning experiences happen planned and deliberately, most of the informal learning experiences occur casual and/or unwittingly. These experiences are scattered among the life experiences of the individual and it is required to save mnemonic data related to these experiences at the same time they are lived in order to retrieve, realize and use them later on. Process of capturing log data such as image, audio, video and location of the life experiences of the individuals in order to retrieve these experiences later is named as life logging. In this study a framework is obtained by classifying learning experiences according to their features, environments and daily recording devices and sensors in order to define process of capturing lifelong learning experiences simultaneously for remembering them later. It is foreseen that the framework obtained during the study can be used for designing systems which will be developed for capturing the learning experiences occurred.
