Abstract :
Enhancement of an InfoStation-based multiagent architecture is presented. The focus of the enhancement is the system´s capability to facilitate the contextualisation of delivered service content. It adapts to varying operating environments inherent to this type of wireless access architecture, and to service delivery modes dictated by, or matched to, the personal context of the user. The educational opportunities thereby created such as support for dispersed distance learning and enriched learning environment are discussed.
