Abstract
Mobile devices present great features for the support of pervasive learning and content personalization. This paper presents a framework which takes advantage of these features and supports end-users while creating their customized tools for their students. Additionally, the framework comprises means for teachers to include persuasive and motivational mechanisms and hints, promoting student engagement while pursuing their learning activities. We describe the framework’s architecture, its features, including the supporting guidelines and development process, and detail some of the already developed material and the results that emerged during initial trials and case studies, also stressing their contributions to the field of m-learning.
