A PERSONALISED MOBILE ENVIRONMENT FOR LIFELONG LEARNERS

With the new generation of mobile phones that are always online, can handle multimedia and connect to local networks using bluetooth technology, an application that will facilitate learning for lifelong learners can be accomplished. To this end, this paper presents a design approach and an architecture for a prototype personalised environment that aims to facilitate contextual lifelong learning by making accessible learning services and opportunities provided by the university or by remote personalised servers that are available in the vicinity of the user.
