An ubiquitous 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 in a standard way consists of an effective way to allow, among other features, content reuse and interoperability between different Learning Management Systems (LMS). Thus, these contents can be reassembled to create new content. However, a problem that occurs frequently is the unsuitability of the content to the context in which the student is inserted. A context-aware ubiquitous learning support environment allows students participating in this kind of course to receive content that suits their needs (available physical resources, preferences, geographic location, learning styles etc.). Thus, this paper presents an agent-based approach to context-aware recommendation of learning objects in order to enhance the learning process in ubiquitous learning.

“…In this context, mobile learning objects (MLOs) are key elements of these new teaching–learning processes. MLOs are educational and digital resources associated with features such as reusability, interoperability, portability, and adaptability to mobile devices [12]. Therefore, pedagogical and technical features must be considered during the MLO's construction cycle [51].…”

Mobile learning (m‐learning) refers to knowledge and abilities acquisition through the use of mobile technology anywhere at any time. Mobile learning objects (MLOs) are key elements for this teaching paradigm; several software tools have been proposed to support the construction of MLOs; however, they do not take into account pedagogical and technological aspects simultaneously during the construction cycle of MLOs. This paper presents the analysis, design, and development of a web system called SiGOAM, which supports specialized services to professors to generate quality MLOs. These services follow a formal MLO's construction cycle integrated into four phases: analysis, design, development, and product‐oriented assessment. As a result of this formal approach, the proposed system generates quality MLOs that are embedded in mobile devices and accessed through web browsers. We performed a usability assessment of our system SiGOAM based on a field study. The results show that professors assigned acceptable values for effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction.

“…The development of m-learning has been supported since different points of view; however, mobile learning objects (MLOs) are considered key components. MLOs are interactive, adaptable, and digital resources designed to accomplish an educational aim into learning environments that are executed on mobile devices; some MLOs support different learning approaches and interaction mechanisms [11]. Therefore, the MLOs construction should take into account pedagogical and technical aspects during its design and implementation in order to improve technical features such as reusability and adaptability [2].…”

This paper proposes a methodology to develop high quality MLOs throughout five phases: analysis, design, development, assessment, and publishing. MOAM was assessed with important results given that MLOs comply with technical aspects such as reusability, interoperability, portability and take into account educational objectives, learning content, assessment, and learning styles. K E Y W O R D Smethodology, mobile device features, mobile learning objects, pedagogical and technical aspects | INTRODUCTIONMobile devices are present in the daily life of million people. In the educational literature, there is an special interest in exploring and exploting the use of mobile devices as learning resources, specially in the field known as mobile learning (m-learning) [20]. M-learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge and skills at anytime and everywhere through technologies [8]. The development of m-learning has been supported since different points of view; however, mobile learning objects (MLOs) are considered key components. MLOs are interactive, adaptable, and digital resources designed to accomplish an educational aim into learning environments that are executed on mobile devices; some MLOs support different learning approaches and interaction mechanisms [11]. Therefore, the MLOs construction should take into account pedagogical and technical aspects during its design and implementation in order to improve technical features such as reusability and adaptability [2]. For example, the use of the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) [3] in the development of MLOs would facilitate sharing MLOs among diverse Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS), or the incorporation of the Learning Object Metadata (LOM) to identify MLOs and describe their metadata would help to support reusability and interoperability [10,24]. At the same time, in order to reach determined educational aims, the pedagogical aspects such as content, learning activities, and assessments must be considered during the development of MLOs [2].There are methodologies in the literature such as [5,12,13,18,27,29,30,34] and which addressed the development of MLOs. However, these methodologies do not take into account pedagogical elements such as the learning styles of the potential users neither technological aspects related with the MLOs performance given the multiple platforms of mobile devices. Because individuals have different skills and capacities, it would be desirable that a MLO enables customization to include user preferences and learning styles in its instructional design [26,35]. Additionally, it is important to consider pedagogical aspects as the selection of the learning content, technical aspects related with the adaptability and visibility of MLOs independently of physical features as the size of the screen or software features as the operative system that supports the different mobile devices of users such as cell phones, smart phones, laptops, or tablets [23].This paper proposes a methodology to design and implement ML...
