A New Model of Device Adapting in Mobile Learning

The concept of mobile learning is often defined as learning that takes place with the help of mobile devices to access course materials at everywhere and at anytime; however, these devices operate in different ways and have different capabilities, because of these heterogeneous computing platforms, some course materials may not be in a format that different mobile devices would accept. To make course materials available on these mobile devices as well as on desktop systems, this paper develops an intelligent software agent model capable of adapting to the heterogeneous mobile computing environment. The agent can convert the course materials to the desired format automatically. The agent is able to understand mobile client´s capabilities.
