Abstract
Abstract: A Smart Space for Learning (SSL) is a proposed software application system supporting access to individualized learning materials and experiences using Personal Learning Assistants (PLAs). PLAs are intelligent agent software applications that aid
the learner in searching for relevant content across a distributed network. They hold the promise of harnessing the power of the network to break the cost barriers that have restricted learning environments to time- and location-dependent cohort groups. Using SSL, individual learners should be able to navigate their way through the large mass of materials available on the World Wide Web and build themselves a
coherent and cohesive learning plan that is independent of time and place.
