Abstract:
Context information captured by computer applications, assists in characterizing the momentary situation in which the user is located. However, during this construction process it must be taken into account not only the context that is used, but also the Quality of the Context (QOC) to be supplied in order to provide a real contribution to user interaction with the environment. This paper presents a study on the development of a ubiquitous virtual learning environment (UVLEQoC), which performs the processing of context information by applying metrics of Quality of Context. The environment also integrates two systems: U-SEA to treat computational context and SEDECA to identify the cognitive profile of the user, adapting the contents and tools of the environment according to the formulated context. The environment will provide a context to guarantee a minimum level of quality, adapting their resources according to the preferences of the users.
