Adaptive Multimedia Learning Delivered in Mobile Cloud Computing Environment
Abstract— The process of integrating multimedia files, such as different types of learning objects (video, images, audio, animation, etc.) to m-learning systems requires more computational resources than mobile devices can provide. Considering mobile device limitations, such as storage, computing power and bandwidth, we propose a mobile cloud computing in order to deliver adaptive multimedia learning courses to students. In this paper, we propose a PaaS cloud based framework, which offloads the process of dynamically adapting the multimedia content to the context-aware mobile learning environment. Hence, the student is provided with multimedia that is tailored to his or her cognitive style and the content is adapted according to context – aware network conditions.
