Abstract
Pervasive learning systems must define new mechanism to deliver the right resource, at the right time, at the right place to the right learner. This means that rich context information has to be considered: time, place, user knowledge, user activity, user environment and device capacity. As context is based on numerous information which may change frequently (coming from a collection of captors), a more aggregate view is defined to work on more abstract objects: the situations. Context information and situation information have to be widespread into all the models of learning systems: context preferences have to be handled in the learner model, well-adapted situation and situation scenarios have to be memorized in learning resource model. The adaptation process is enriched too.
