Abstract

This paper presents a mobile learning system that makes use of available multimedia web resources to manage the authoring and delivery of learning material for nomadic users. The system constructs in real time a personalized learning web for a mobile user who enquires about a particular topic to fit his/her curiosity while facing a real-life situation. The learning web is mapped from a hierarchical structure that is automatically generated based on information gathered from a specific location in the web. The learning content is packaged into preset layouts and presented to the user based on his/her profile and the capabilities of the mobile handset. The architecture of the system is web-based which is designed as a set of modules that i) gather multimedia information from different locations in the web, ii) package the content into lightweight learning objects (LO), iii) organize LOs into a learning web structure, and finally iv) deliver the whole to the user allowing him/her to navigate through the learning web according to his/her needs and constraints.
