Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of an application system where pervasive computing is used in Mandarin e-Learning. First a short introduction to the ongoing changes concerning pervasive computing and particularly e-Learning is given, followed by an e-learning framework including the application server and enterprise server, which distributes the personalized learning services to the learners so that the learners can obtain the learning resource or personalized learning guide interactively. Its design and implementation issues are discussed in details.
