Abstract

This work presents a case-study focused in practical learning scenarios of m-AdaptWeb, an adaptive e-learning environment envisioning the exploration of mobile functionalities in the web-based learning environment AdaptWeb®. The main objective of our research is to provide content adapted to different students facing different learning problems when using their mobile devices. In this paper we present an infrastructure to allow mobile-aware behaviour to an e-learning system and a case-study that emphasizes the enrichment needed to be applied to learning objects metadata, in order to be effective in specific mobile conditions. Also, we show how m-AdaptWeb provides support for the adaptations presented to the students and for the recommendations depending on their progress in a specific learning activity.
