A GENERAL ARCHITECTURE FOR M-LEARNING

With the advances in mobile technologies it is already possible to support learners and teachers activities on the move. Nevertheless the interoperation between a Learning Information Systems and mobile technology is still weakly explored. We analyzed the functionalities that should be provided by e-learning and m-learning and present them in a general mobile learning platform. It is extension to traditional LMS and thus able to provide all possible e-learning services and additional specific services to the mobile users. Such a system should have three main functionalities Context Discovery , Mobile Content Management and Presentation Adaptation and Packaging and Synchronization .
