Abstract

Mobile learning (m-learning) is attracting much attention with the convenience of the anytime-and-anywhere learning. However, information dissemination to the huge numbers of mobile learners using a peer-to-peer channel arouses network bandwidth consumption and the heavy load on the servers. In this paper, we propose an agent-based information push technology in the m-learning system. The system architecture, agent-based push model and the division of the functional modules are described in detail.
