The use of computers and the Internet has successfully enabled the educational
institutions to provide educational services based on new educational 
paradigms and
facilitate the access to educational resources. With the recent 
developments in the
mobile devices and the development of Web Service Standards, further 
possibilities
are emerging to provide next generation learning services via mobile devices.
A new business model is arising that moves from "systems" business logic 
to "services"
business logic and provides total solutions for access and interaction.  This
phenomenon has created various challenges and opportunities in terms of 
adaptivity
in access, customization and personalization. New architectures and techniques
should be developed in order to take full advantage of the potential of 
this new
infrastructure. The aim of this special issue is to explore topics related 
with the new
opportunities, paradigms and technologies for adaptivity in web and mobile 
learning
services. We aim at a balanced composition of conceptual, technological 
and system
evaluation work.
