A Framework Design for Utilization in Facilitating Contextualised mLearning

Abstract

This paper presents an intelligent, light-weight, distributed and Java-based framework design for the presentation of mobile services (mServices) within a mobile eLearning (mLearning) InfoStation-based environment. The framework has been developed by incorporating inversion of control (IoC) design patterns and is maintained by a light-weight HTTP container. A multi-agent system (MAS) acts as a bridge between the mService applications and mobile users. The concept for the light-weight, intelligent and distributed design of the framework is presented.
