CALMS: a context-aware learning mobile system based on ontologies

Abstract

The growing use of mobile devices to support the teaching - learning process and their use in storing academic contents on virtual platforms, requires that systems oriented to the mobile learning take into consideration the educational context of students. One of the biggest challenges during the construction of these systems is the modeling of the context and the possibility of including ontology-based approaches in order to obtain a better structure of the information. Thus, this paper presents a mobile learning system that uses a network of ontologies, which allow the representation of the contextual dimensions of a teaching - learning environment (e.g., location, time, user profiles and knowledge areas). In addition, it is possible to take advantage of the use of semantic search (keywords)and route algorithms applied to ontological models due to their expressiveness and extensible architecture. This study looks for …
