Bringing Context into the Web-based Education

In this article we present the architecture of an m-learning (mobile-learning) environment using Bluetooth as communications technology. We also describe its practical implementation into a technical laboratory where students can access, work and leave at any time. The system incorporates artificial intelligence techniques in order to adapt itself to the characteristics of each user. This strategy allows us to recognize each student, organize his/her work and evaluate his/her results, without educator intervention. Nevertheless, the teacher will be reported about the student activities and will be advised when the situation requires it. The Bluetooth facilities assure good isolation between different classrooms and multiuser wireless connections.
