Abstract
Mobile technology enhanced learning pertains to the delivery of multimedia learning resource onto mobile end devices such as cell phones and PDAs. It also aims at supporting personalized adaptive learning in a community context. This paper presents a novel approach to supporting both aspects. The community aware content adaptation employs the MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 multimedia metadata standards to present the best possible information to mobile end devices. Meanwhile, interest patterns are derived from a community aware context analysis. We designed and developed a technology enhanced learning platform supporting architecture professionals’ study at city excursions and other mobile tasks.
