Abstract

In addition to performing the function for which they were created, handheld devices are also provider of all kind of material through its integrated internet connectivity, enabling users to access and play multimedia information (pictures, videos, music, podcast, etc.), read news on screen, and complete educational activities. Regarding its role of learning facilitator, the challenge is to ensure that mobile devices are capable of presenting content considering the features of specific users. Our proposal is consequently focused on the integration of an adaptive learning architecture into the management platform Moodle, application which is conveniently enhanced by the incorporation of mobile devices into the adaptive platform by providing mobile access to Moodle. Thus, the adaptive architecture presents the educational tasks to the client by means of interactive Flash activities which make possible both the adaptation of the educational content and the presentation of such content to handheld device capabilities.
