Adaptive multimedia content in mobile cloud computing environment

Future trends for University distance learning systems involve integration of the mobile devices with the support of cloud computing services. The multimedia content that is delivered to the student´s mobile devices provides an efficient learning environment. The main benefit, elaborated in this paper, is to use the processing power of the mobile cloud computing (MCC) environment for adapting the multimedia content to the context - aware network conditions of the mobile user. In this paper we also improve the QoE (Quality of Experience) metrics as a multi-dimensional construct of user perceptions and behaviors that is in direct relation to the QoL (Quality of Learning) in the process of distance learning.
