Abstract :
Mobile learning in massive open online course (MOOC) differs evidently from its traditional ways as it relies more on collaboration and becomes fragmented. We introduce a cloud-based system which can organize learners into a better teamwork context and customize micro learning resources in order to meet personal demands in real time. Particularly, a smart micro learning environment can be built by a newly designed SaaS, in which educational data mining techniques are mainly employed to understand learners´ behaviors and recognize learning resource features.
