Abstract: The article presents the architecture of a complex, mobilised content authoring system. This approach changes the current structure of content development at Corvinus University of Budapest, serving the needs of mobile learners better by enabling context and location aware learning. Through its main components – educational ontology, content management system, adaptive testing system, mobilised learning management system – the system is also capable to tackle the challenges of communication, collaboration and content delivery regardless of time and space. Certain components were even tested by business informatics BSc students and the outcomes of this pilot are also described in detail.

Keywords: m-learning; mobile learning; ontology based framework; ontology testing; ontologies; content authoring; context awareness; location awareness; content management; adaptive testing; Hungary; communication; collaboration; content delivery; business informatics; business education; higher education; universities.
