English Abstract

Mobile technologies have drawn a great deal of attention not only in developed countries, but also in developing countries.

Mobile technologies offer a possible solution for applying technology in education in developing countries, as it offers solutions to specific developing countries infrastructure limitations.

Mobile phones are not just communication devices sparking new modalities of interaction between people; they are also powerful computing devices.

Due to the significant penetration of mobile phones, many students are already owners of their own powerful learning devices in the form of mobile technology.

m-Learning has enhanced learning and teaching environments.

Mobile devices, such as smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) are used as learning organizer tools and for delivering online courses to university students.

Mobile technology enhanced learning pertains to the delivery of multimedia learning resource onto mobile end devices such as cell phones and PDAs.

It also aims to support personalized adaptive learning in a community context.

However, there are few applications that support studies through m-learning environments.

This thesis presents the design and implementation of an m-learning application.

In this thesis we focus on adapting content presentation to select elements from various sources in a mobile environment, such as elements from the learner's profile, mobile device requirements and connectivity’s.

This ensures that the learner can manage and get the content through the mobile device and it environment.

The framework of this project used to represent the approach for data representation to reduce the complexity of the learning environment and allows efficient content adaptation and it could be applied to any type of learning content; we are only taking into account material that supports learning, such as summery, quizzes, messages, objective and comment and so on.

Moreover, the proposed model will support the student learning context which is a result of the mobility of m-learning scenarios such as user location, movement, duration of stay, noise level and availability of resources.
