  • Abstract
    We address accessibility and device independence for mobile learning and its implications as far as learning technology (LT) standards are concerned. This paper reviews the IMS learner information specifications in relation with their suitability for mobile learning and, in addition, it presents a new contribution to this LT standardization process through the inclusion of the concept of a device profile in some of these specifications.
