Abstract
This paper illustrates the concept of Multiple Representation (MR) approach and its application in mobile adaptation. The paper first reviews several techniques for web page level content adaptation. Most of these techniques have been used in existing applications but they are very generic and lack the guidelines for deployment of educational pedagogy needed in learning environments. The Multiple Representation approach fills this gap by providing guidelines for content adaptation in e-learning and mobile learning environments. We further formulate, extend and apply MR approach in a prototype of a mobile quiz module to illustrate the synergy between mobile adaptation and MR approach.
