Abstract

In this paper we propose the practical application of multimodal conversational interfaces to develop advanced mobile learning applications. Our proposal integrates features of Android APIs on a modular architecture that emphasizes interaction management and context-awareness to build user-adapted, robust and maintainable (mobile learning) m-learning applications. We have applied the proposed framework to develop a mobile learning application that improves users’ interaction to solve practical educative exercises, promotes autonomous learning and self-assessment, personalizes the selection of recommended learning activities considering the student’s preferences and their previous uses, and allows the provision of immediate feedback by means of the automatic assessment.
