Context-aware adaptive and personalized mobile learning delivery supported by UoLmP

Over the last decade, several research initiatives have investigated the potentials of the educational paradigm shift from the traditional one-size-fits-all teaching approaches to adaptive and personalized learning. on the other hand, mobile devices are recognized as an emerging technology to facilitate teaching and learning strategies that exploit individual learners’ context. this has led to an increased interest on context-aware adaptive and personalized mobile learning systems aiming to provide learning experiences delivered via mobile devices and tailored to learner’s personal characteristics and situation. to this end, in this paper we present a context-aware adaptive and personalized mobile learning system, namely the units of learning mobile player (uolmp), which aims to support semi-automatic adaptation of learning activities, that is: (a) adaptations to the interconnection of the learning activities (namely, the learning flow) and (b) adaptations to the educational resources, tools and services that support the learning activities. initial evaluation results from the use of uolmp provide evidence that uolmp can successfully adapt the learning flow of an educational scenario and the delivery of educational resources, tools and services that support the learning activities. finally, these adaptations can facilitate students to complete successfully the learning activities of an educational scenario.
