Abstract

New pervasive computing scenarios such as ubiquitous learning (u-learning) and mobile learning (m-learning) demands real time adaptation. Getting such adaptation couldn’t be possible with the current technologies. It is necessary a change in the development of pervasive e-learning systems using dynamic technologies and including them in both: platforms and e-learning content specifications. In this paper we define and develop the concept of Sharable Auto-Adaptive Learning Object (SALO) like a Learning Object which includes content and describe its behaviour thanks to dynamic languages. Such features allow it to change and include new resources and behaviour, in a dynamic way and using the user’s context at 'anytime, anywhere, from any device'.
