Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies in the educational area makes courses at universities more accessible anytime and anywhere. However, learners have different background knowledge, learning styles and they learn in different contexts and situations. For this purpose, we suggest in this paper a new model of adaptive mobile learning systems that considers a combination of learner’s characteristics and context in order to provide each learner with the most suitable learning content and format of presentation.
