Abstract :
The vertiginous penetration and advance of mobile devices in all levels of our society leads towards new technological challenges. This paper is focused on the application of mobile devices in the learning environment, since the current mobile learning development is finding several problems and lacks, such as use of the new features (e.g. location and motion sensors) and the desigh without having including the existing e-learning services. This paper introduces a framework created as a need to interconnect the mobile learning environment with context aware systems and existing e-learning resources. The paper describes the requirements that a framework like this must support, to finally give an overview of the author´s solution.
