Abstract

This paper proposes a Ubiquitous Computing Environment for Medical Education, whose kernel is a Web-based system with collaborative tools, to support the interactions and computational tasks among different actors involved in the Medical Education process. In order to allow this environment to be ubiquitous, the Web pages of this system are adapted, through a Content Adaptation Architecture, so they can be accessed by a huge variety of small mobile devices (e.g., cell phones, smart phones, tablets, Personal Digital Assistants).
