Abstract
With the evolution and convergence of wireless technologies, mobile devices and sensors, the mobile and ubiquitous learning have appeared next to the e-learning. Far from being simple extensions of distance learning, they pose several challenges. Most of learning content used in learning platforms are built to be consumed on broadband networks and powerful terminals. However, technological advances have allowed their access over low-flow wireless networks, and terminals with limited resources such as ubiquitous and mobile devices. With this type of access, there is a strong need for learning content adaptation systems. Our work focuses on pervasive learning environments which are the new trends of distant learning and proposes to solve a big range of constraints posed by the use of various technologies in learning. We are interested in studying the various limitations of learning in pervasive environments and the development of a platform for dynamic adaptation of learning content, taking into account the challenges posed by the evolving learning context.
