Mobile student modeling

Abstract

Student modeling is a subset of user modeling, where a student is a specific type of a user who handles a computer system. Focusing on mobile student modeling the student interaction is accomplished through mobile devices' user interfaces. However, the model in its theoretic dimension remains the same. In this chapter the authors give a short presentation of the concepts of user models and user stereotypes. These concepts are used in the following chapters, in all resulting mobile educational systems in order to provide adaptation to the students' personal profiles. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
