Abstract

The progress in communication technologies dramatically influences a learning environment. Mobile techologies are advancing and thus are providing new opportunities for different type of learning. Usage of agent technology is one of the potentially important backbones for coming mobile device based application developement for learning environment support. There has been noticeable success in agent development in last twenty years alongside the rabid development of mobile technologies. That has fostered the creation of FIPA agent technology standards. There have been some attempts to use them in mobile devices. However it is not a mainstream approach yet. This forms a basis for evaluating a contiguity of agent and mobile technologies, whih then helps to evaluate a feasibility and usage of these technologies in development of learning environment supportive system (LESS) as a case study at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences. It is aimed to use the LESS prototype as a tool for enhancing a course grading system.
