The MOBIlearn project (EU IST-2001-37187) aims to support a wide range of services and applications for learners using mobile computing devices such as phones, PDAs, and laptops. The display limitations of these devices mean that it is crucial to deliver the right content at the right time. One way of doing this is to use contextual information to derive content that is relevant to what the user is doing, as well as where and how they are doing it. We present an object-oriented, feature-based architecture for a context awareness subsystem to be implemented within the MOBIlearn project, and consider the implications involved in the use of such a system for mobile learning.
