Abstract
Using mobile devices for learning gets more and more popular. However, in order to provide learners with suitable learning materials in such mobile settings, the learners´ characteristics and context should be considered. In this paper, we propose an approach for providing personalized course content in mobile settings, considering a combination of students´ learning styles and context. The proposed system aims at supporting students by presenting them with learning materials that are appropriate with respect to the students´ current contexts and based on their preferred learning styles.
