Abstract:
The increasing use of mobile devices and the wide dissemination of learning environments encourage educators to find methods that involve mobile and ubiquitous computing. This scenario allows the development of environments geared to teaching, in which characteristics of the context information from the student should be treated apart. Thus, it arises a new paradigm, ubiquitous learning, and enabling differentiated instruction. This article presents a survey that has founded, by analyzing evidential theory and practice, the similarity between the different dimensions of learning styles, presenting an adaptation of the ubiquitous environment seamlessly with the style of the predominant user.
