2. The need... standardisation in the m-learning field  avoid the need to redesign from scratch suitable context model describe the relationships among context types context inference context abstraction (Dey, 2000) 20-22/10/2010 In Proceedings of mLearn2010

3. ...and the challenge “ the development of methodologies [....] already adopted in desktop-based learning and adapt it to suit mobile environments” (Berri, 2006) 20-22/10/2010 In Proceedings of mLearn2010

4. Background - Key concepts Mobile learning Context-awareness Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) IMS Learning Design (LD) specification - it allows various kinds of learning strategies to be expressed and - its language itself remains pedagogically neutral (IMS GLC, 2006) 20-22/10/2010 In Proceedings of mLearn2010

5. Background - Interrelations Context-aware SOA & mobile learning (Chang et al, 2008) Learning Design approach & SOA (Mc Andrew, 2006) Learning Design for mobile & personalized learning (Siadaty el al, 2008) Learning Design & adaptation ( Burgos & Specht, 2006) 20-22/10/2010 In Proceedings of mLearn2010
