Abstract

This paper is about the development of MLEA, a platform that assists, through Android cellphones and tablets, the mobility of users of learning virtual environments. MLEA is an application that implements computational techniques such as web services, design patterns, ontologies, and mobile computational techniques in order to allow the communication between mobile devices and the content management system -- Moodle. It's based on a service oriented, client server architecture that combines the REST protocol and JSON format for data interchange. The client will be provided with features for alerts, file downloads, chats and forums, grade books, quizzes, and calendar, among others.
