Uma Contribuição para a Adaptabilidade de Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem para Dispositivos Móveis

Abstract

The mobile computing popularization is also working for the teaching-learning process because, among other benefits, provides support for e-learning and contributes to the M-learning (learning without time and place pre-set). From this perspective, several existing tools and environments to support learning, such as Learning Management System (LMS), must be suitable for this. A solution to this is to use techniques of adapting existing software, such as content adaptation and the the user interface adaptation and various adaptive hypermedia environments models (domain model, user model and adaptation model). This article presents M-AVA model. This model support the adaptation of existing VLEs to the mobile devices context , building upon the adaptation techniques and models. From the M-AVA design there was the need to include an adaptation layer in the LMS architecture to ensure that they can meet the new technologies demands. To show the feasibility of using the proposed adaptation model, a case study is presented in detail and new research perspectives are discussed.
