A Multimedia Content Adaptation Mechanism to Implement Universal Access on Learning Environment

Abstract

Using rich types of media to create and generate lecturing materials or contents will improve the learning interest and effectiveness. When a well-organized and designed multimedia lecturing content has been completed, is it possible to be presented on different types of device? If not, the author will be requested to modify his/her content until suitable for every types of device. In this paper, we have proposed a content adaptation mechanism to implement the spirit of “create content once, ready for universal access”. That means a mechanism to deliver adaptive content from any platform in any format to any device through any network at anytime and anywhere. We have demonstrated the performance of this mechanism. Based on our results, it can encourage author to concentrate on content designing and use our content adaptation mechanism to deliver adaptive content to different type of devices.
