Enabling the discovery of Adaptive Learning Resources for mobile learner
Enabling the discovery of Adaptive Learning Resources for mobile learner
The current advancements in mobile and communication technologies provide mobile users with unprecedented
possibilities to learn on the move. The diversity in the capabilities of mobile devices as well as needs of mobile
learners have, however, created many challenges for learning resource providers. To cope with these diversity problems, many content adaptation techniques have been proposed to adapt learning resources based on learner’s needs, preferences, device constraints and usage context. These techniques enable the creation of Adaptive Learning Resources to provide personalized versions of learning resources. The one issue that has not been addressed is the discovery of the potentially most useful version of a learning resource in the adaptive space created by different Adaptive Learning Resources provided by different content providers. Existing search techniques are good enough to discover only static content which has one single version unlike adaptive content. In this paper, we address this challenge by providing an Adaptive Learning Resource Meta-Model (ALRM) to enable mobile learners discover the right Adaptive Learning Resource among the many Adaptive Resources which has the Potential Most Relevant Version (PMRV). We have implemented this model in a prototype application using RDF and used SPARQL query for resource selection.

Abstract
The current advancements in mobile and communication technologies provide mobile users with unprecedented
possibilities to learn on the move. The diversity in the capabilities of mobile devices as well as needs of mobile
learners have, however, created many challenges for learning resource providers. To cope with these diversity problems, many content adaptation techniques have been proposed to adapt learning resources based on learner’s needs, preferences, device constraints and usage context. These techniques enable the creation of Adaptive Learning Resources to provide personalized versions of learning resources. The one issue that has not been addressed is the discovery of the potentially most useful version of a learning resource in the adaptive space created by different Adaptive Learning Resources provided by different content providers. Existing search techniques are good enough to discover only static content which has one single version unlike adaptive content. In this paper, we address this challenge by providing an Adaptive Learning Resource Meta-Model (ALRM) to enable mobile learners discover the right Adaptive Learning Resource among the many Adaptive Resources which has the Potential Most Relevant Version (PMRV). We have implemented this model in a prototype application using RDF and used SPARQL query for resource selection.
