XESOP: A Content-Adaptive M-Learning Environment

Abstract

This demo paper illustrates content adaptation for mobile devices. Adaptation considers the context of the client and also the environment, where the client request is received. A device independent model is demonstrated in order to achieve automatic adaptation of a content based on its semantic and the capabilities of the target device. A Web Services-based Framework is presented for adapting, displaying and manipulating learning objects on small handheld devices. A speech solution allows learners to turn written text into natural speech files, in using standard voices. This demo paper also illustrates the main features of XESOP system: authoring of heterogeneous data, integration by means of Web services' invocation in a Learning Course Management System.
