A Review on personalization in Mobile Learning
Over the last decade, several studies and researches showed the
importance and the necessity to use mobile learning during the
learning/teaching process. Mobile Learning (ML), nowadays
gains more attention technically and pedagogically. This review
of literature deals with the personalization issue in mobile
learning, and how agents can be used to support solving this
issue, the main objective of this study is to review recent and
up to date studies on personalization in mobile learning and
find if there are any gaps in the existing literature. The review
process started with a primary search which resulted
(200)articles, then preparing a checklist(Aims, Research Design,
framework, and Justification of the findings), after that
selecting the most relevant articles (27) according to some
general questions, then the analysis process started and resulted
some gaps in the existing literature. Results shows that most of
the studies concentrate on one issue of the personalization such
as (Device Capabilities, Student Level, Student#8223;s Preferences,
Network Issues, Course ”Subject”, Device Operating System,
and Location), also most of them assure that agents are a
solution for personalization in mobile learning. So there is a
need for more investigating on how to deploy agents more
effectively to support more personalization in mobile learning.
