N2 - Within this paper, an InfoStation-based multi-agent architecture is presented, which provides the infrastructure to support the delivery of contextualised assessment in the form of mTests. These mTests can be utilised to enhance more traditional localised educational practices, or indeed to provide additional tools to support distance learning. The utilisation of a multi-agent system architecture, incorporating the personal mobile devices of learners, is presented, building on the work presented in [1-3]. The main architectural components within the system are discussed, detailing the functionality required in delivering effective assessments and feedback to learners. Finally, the system functionality required for effective service management by educators is detailed.
