Paper Abstract:
|
The paper describes a system enabling creation of adaptable mobile user interfaces for e-learning repositories, such as Moodle. The system design is based on a user interface adaptation framework, called ASIS, which enables combining dynamically-generated Web content with calls to SOA services. By using service calls as a means of interfacing e-learning repositories instead of their standard Web interfaces, we can build new interfaces with significantly reduced complexity, focusing on important content and tasks, which is critical in case of small-size mobile devices. Furthermore, by utilizing full context information available at the access device, together with the device profile and a user profile, we can generate an interface specifically tailored for a given user, a given device and a given context of use. The user interfaces are dynamically generated based on interface templates coded in a high-level XML-based language specifically designed for this purpose. The paper describes the ASIS interface adaptation framework, its integration with the Moodle system and provides examples of mobile interfaces generated by the system. |
