Abstract

During recent years, the use of mobile devices has been increased with the big evolution of wireless communications and technologies. In the field of education, mobile technologies can have a great influence on learning. Mobile learning (m-learning) is a new technology which enables learners to acquire learning materials anywhere and at any time using mobile and internet technologies. However, learner mobility implies a permanent change of context. So, the adoption of context-awareness in mobile learning has become a crucial topic in this area.

In this paper, we propose an architecture of m-learning system based on contextualization and service composition using the orchestration approach. This architecture will automatically and dynamically meet the needs of the user and provide him with appropriated learning resources according to the context changes. Thereby, we focus on the main subsystems of this architecture, and then we propose a scenario of electrotechnic lab using our proposed architecture.
