User models are essential to e-learning systems, giving students learning continuity, tutors evidence of students' progress, and both a way to personalize students' learning materials to their abilities and preferences. Personalizing information has long been the motivation behind developing e-learning systems. Adaptive educational systems attempt to maintain a learning style profile for each student and use this profile to adapt the presentation and navigation of instructional content to each student. This kind of system adapts the learning process on the basis of the student's learning preferences, knowledge, and availability. One such Webbased tool is built at the Business School of Professional Studies in Blace (the system of intelligent evaluation using tests), which infers student knowledge using adaptive testing. The knowledge is not evaluated according to fixed standards, but it depends on individual characteristics of each student, therefore, the learning style which is the most suitable. This system is part of the integrated assessment system inside of integrated curriculum. ß

In the 21st century, education represents a key factor of economic and social development of a community. The majority of traditional methods intended for education are no longer suitable for it, since they are unable to meet the students' needs. Mobile learning represents a new educational channel, which allows access from any place at any time. In this paper, an overview of various forms of education is provided, concepts of mobile learning are discussed, educational mobile applications are analyzed, and the design and the prototype of a mobile application intended for learning, called mTester, is described. Finally, the paper presents a case study of mobile learning use, conducted at the Business School of Applied Studies in Blace, Serbia. The first results show an improvement in the realization of courses and in the students' final grades. ß 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
