In this paper, we present the basis and case of use of two systems that support the creation and evaluation of adaptive mobile learning environments. In this type of environments, dynamically generated by CoMoLE, the most suitable activities to be carried out by each student are recommended to him, so that he can take benefit from his spare time. The interface to support activity accomplishment is adapted by selecting the most suitable contents and tools for that student. With this purpose, student features, needs, previous interactions and context is considered. However, evaluating whether the recommendations and adaptation fits the student's needs is complex. With the purpose of evaluating adaptive learning systems, the method GeSES was designed. GeSES uses Data Mining techniques to extract information about potential problems. It has been used to evaluate one CoMoLE-based learning environment and the results obtained are also presented in this article. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
