Abstract

This article is devoted to the formulation of a context-adaptive electronic learning (e-learning) implementation methodology. The authors address three research gaps: (a) the lack of a rigorous framework to define the 'context' for context-aware mobile learning applications (b) the need to include pedagogy context dimension and (c) the dynamic adaptation of distributed learning content to changing context does not cater for ubiquity among devices. This study: (a) proposes a context reference model to synergise various interpretations of context, instantiated for a computing course (b) designs the pedagogy to fulfil different learning styles and (c) proposes a model-driven, service-oriented web services architecture.
