ABSTRACT
A mobile learning environment provides students with a teaching method that would be not possible to be performed in a conventional web-based course. The use of Learning Objects (LOs) in a standard way consists of an effective way to allow, among other features, content reuse and interoperability between different Learning Management Systems. However, a problem that occurs frequently is the unsuitability of the content to the context in which the student is inserted. A context-aware mobile learning support environment allows to solve this problem. Thus, this paper presents an agent-based approach to context-aware recommendation of LOs in order to enhance the teaching process in mobile learning.
