Really simple :)

$context = $PAGE->context;

And to check the type of context, use the context constants

switch ($context->contextlevel) {
    case CONTEXT_SYSTEM:
        break;
    case CONTEXT_USER:
        break;
    case CONTEXT_COURSECAT:
        break;
    case CONTEXT_COURSE:
        break;
    case CONTEXT_MODULE:
        break;
    case CONTEXT_BLOCK:
        break;
}

Make sure you have the following set before you call $PAGE:

GLOBAL = $PAGE;
