Abstract:
Mobile learning has been receiving increased attention from diverse publications and events. The assimilation of mobile computing by education allows students to access education calmly, flexibly and seamlessly. This area of mobile services is getting wide attention by developers, strongly supported by the notion of context-aware. It permits that systems can take the location and position of a user, her interactions and even ‘smart’ objects into account to present more personalized services. This work presents the addition of a personalization module to PortableLab, a mobile learning solution that allows students to analyze several poor quality power supply occurrences. The developed system is a step forward in the development of mobile learning courses, presenting content adapted to each student. The paper presents the PortableLab system and how its integration of personalization is being done in order to have the right mobile interfaces tailored to the students.
