Abstract :
Empowered by mobile computing, teachers and students can benefit from computing in more scenarios beyond the traditional computer classroom. But because of the much diversity of device specification, learning contents, and mobile context existing today, the learners get a bad learning experience (e. g. rich contents can not be displayed correctly) during u-Learning environment. This paper proposes an adaptive contents delivery system for u-Learning environment, which creates the adaptive contents for learners according to learner´s interest and learning contexts. The evaluation on a mobile virtual community system shows that the learners may not only study in rich media on mobile device at any time & place, also get a better learning experience, e. g. learners may get instant help from other participates by ubiquitous device .
