PALLAS: Personalised Language Learning on Mobile Devices

Mobile and ubiquitous learning facilitates language learners to continue their learning process outside the formal classroom, when and where they desire. While more and more learning resources are accessible via a mobile device, there is a challenge in providing access to appropriate personalised learning resources. Personalisation and contextualisation are often used as synonyms. In our work, we distinguish between these two concepts and consider personalisation as a part of contextualisation. This paper describes the PALLAS system which enables real life language learning scenarios by providing personalised and contextualised access to learning resources via a mobile device. The dynamic and static parameters for contextualisation and personalisation of language learning resources are discussed.
