Overall, the main aim is to exploit data available about user context to: - generate metadata automatically, either during the authoring process, from the author's context, when information about the intended use is more easily available; or while the learner is working with the learning object, in order to capture his feedback, which can then be used later to help guide decisions on the appropriateness of the same object for other learners; - personalize the selection of relevant learning objects, by selecting objects that satisfy conditions that reflect the requirements of the context; and - adapt the behavior of a learning object to the specific characteristics of the context." -- Résumé de l'éditeur
