EduAdapt: um modelo de adaptação de objetos de aprendizagem com foco em dispositivos móveis

Abstract

The increased popularity of mobile technologies to access information possible reach the educational content by anyone, anytime, anywhere. However, the flexibility offered by such technology requires efforts in order to maintain content versions for different device configurations and adapted to the characteristics of student learning. With the increased use of mobile devices and distance education, this paper aims to propose an architectural model, for the adaptation of learning objects considering device characteristics and learning style. The proposed model makes use of ontologies and rules as well as the use of context and learning style of the student and features of the mobile device, to adapt in the best way the learning objects and provide greater contact with the student’s educational content . In order to evaluate the implementation of the proposed model scenarios were described and evaluative metrics applied to the ontology. It has also developed a prototype of the model and submitted in a class of 20 students with the intention of evaluating the usability and adherence to objects adapted , resulting in 78% acceptance.
