Abstract: The adaptation possibilities provided by mobile devices strive to encompass and motivate students' education process by providing learning resources and activities adapted to their specific needs, characteristics, conditions and circumstances. Context4Learning is a mobile application developed by the team behind this paper. Developed for Android, the app detects user location, amount of time available and physical activity being performed to then send users the corresponding notifications regarding learning resources and activities with which he/she may advance in a given educational program. Currently, a pilot project has been launched. The assessment and contributions by the pilot user group encourage us to continue our work. Their experience has proven that work is still needed to achieve perfection in the functioning of the mechanism and greater app usability for end users.
