Abstract

With the proliferation of Internet-capable mobile handheld devices and the availability of wireless broadband networks, mobile learning is increasingly adopted to deliver learning content anywhere and anytime to mobile users. Offering compelling mobile learning solutions faces several challenges. These challenges are mainly the adaptation of the learning material to the profile and preferences of the mobile user and the support of multiple devices. Other concerns include the storage, retrieval, and processing of learning content outside of mobile devices. Furthermore, building rich learning management systems requires the integration of learning content from third party providers. This paper describes our proposed cloud-based framework for delivering adaptive mobile learning services. The paper explains the benefits and requirements of cloud-based solutions for educational organizations, and describes the components of the proposed framework together with the process of integrating learning objects imported from third-party providers with in-house learning objects of the educational organization.
