Research on Mobile Learning Platform with Device Adapting Ability Based on Agent
Jianhua Wang, Jing Li · 2008
Mobile learning means learners can access learning resources at anywhere and anytime with mobile devices; Because these devices operate in different ways and have different capabilities, so some learning resources may not be in a format that different mobile devices accept. In order to provide learners with appropriate courses, a project on mobile learning platform supporting three-layered structure and device adapting was put forward. The structure of the platform was discussed fully. A method converting course materials to the desired format automatically and the technology of cluster agent supporting device adapting in mobile learning system were mainly discussed. The technology contains some hot subjects such as the characteristics of mobile agent and multi-agent model, the functional structure of device adapting agent model. This investigation can shorten the period of constructing education-resource website effectively.
