Abstract

With recently increased emphasis on learner-centered education, a u-learning system, which provides learners with individualized learning, has been becoming the focus of attention. Also, the advance of technology enables learners to have easier access to the Internet through PDA or Smart Phone, thus to acquire information needed to learn on the spot at the moment without time or space constraints. So, what matters now is how learners obtain and access information suitable for them. To that end, some efforts are already underway. Joining the efforts, we shall propose a PDA-based profiling system, which takes into account circumstances of a learner with specifications on a mobile device and learners' levels or preferences for customized learning. The system is devised to provide the information of a mobile device as well as the information of a learner's profile.
