This research work explores the use of mobile and positioning technologies stimulating a context adaptive and location-based learning model. The proposed model utilizes a set of context factors for learning service dissemination; described as learning service area, learning service type, and service interaction level. In addition, the new model considers the availability of positioning technolo...
