  • Abstract
    We present in this paper the interest of ubiquitous computing for the so called contextualized forums. These forums allow communities of practice exchanging and sharing experiences or situations already lived by using learning documents to classify these exchanges. These forums contain a lot of information which contribute to improve classical training. We study here ubiquitous computing possibilities to use this type of forums in order to improve professional training to business process by helping the user to put his/her acquisition into practice. The developed application is being tested and works mainly on smartphones.
