Abstract
With the emergence of mobile devices (Smart Phone, PDA, UMPC, game consoles, etc.), and the growth of offers and needs of a company under formation in motion, multiply the work to identify relevant new learning platforms to improve and facilitate the process of distance learning. The next stage of distance learning is naturally the port of e-learning to new mobile systems. This is called m-learning (mobile learning). Because of the mobility feature, m-learning courses have to be adapted dynamically to the learner’s context. Several researches addressed this issue and implemented a mobile learning environment. In this paper, we compare a list of mobile learning architectures with methods presented in the literature. The evaluation presents a set of criteria specifically identified to qualify m-learning architectures dedicated to the context-change management.
