  • To meet the learning needs of various types of students, various adaptivity features are being implemented in computer-based learning systems to personalize education for every student. Recent developments in mobile technology have made the computer-based learning systems also accessible through mobile devices such as mobile phones. It is, therefore, becoming necessary that the students can also receive personalized learning through mobile devices. This research looks into various student preferences on different devices and how these preferences change when students move from one device to another to access learning content. Two surveys have been conducted in this research to investigate difference in various preferences of students while using personal computers (PCs) and mobile phones. A prototype computer-based educational system, accessible both from PCs and mobile phones, was also developed for this study to provide real experience of both type of interaction to the participants of the surveys. A student profile template is then designed on the basis of survey findings, which resulted in the student profile transformation framework. The framework is the first step towards content development guidelines to serve students on different types of learning devices.
