MLaaS: A Cloud-Based System for Delivering Adaptive Micro Learning in Mobile MOOC Learning

Abstract

Mobile learning in massive open online course (MOOC) evidently differs from its traditional ways as it relies more on collaborations and becomes more fragmented. We present a cloud-based virtual learning environment (VLE) which can organize learners into a better teamwork context and customize micro learning resources in order to meet personal demands in real time.

It aims to provide adaptive micro learning contents as well as learning path identifications customized for each individual learner. To personalize the micro learning, a dynamic l..
