Abstract
Context technology is a core component in cooperative mobile applications. Based on our research project “A Context Framework for Personalised Mobile Learning in Pedagogic Systems”, this paper presents a semantic context model called “SmartContext”, which includes a standardised context template, a context reasoning ontology and a context middleware to investigate a solution for supporting cooperative mobile learning. The integration of “SmartContext” with the current e-learning system in University of Central England is also included in this paper.
