An adaptive Distance Learning environment considering user context
Abstract
In the last decade, academic research in u-learning (ubiquitous learning) has brought new opportunities and new challenges. This paper summarizes the proposal of improvement of AdaptWeb e-learning environment, allowing its adaptation according to the users’ context, mainly taking in account issues related to the particular situations experienced by the student. This paper describes how content and structure of AdaptWeb can be modified to become an u-learning environment.References
