EduCart: a hardware management system for supporting devices in a classroom learning environment

Today, more and more devices are used in the classroom. In this paper, the author focus on integrating the hardware, and provide teacher and student a hardware management system which will easily establish devices supporting classroom learning environment. A hardware device, named EduCart is invented and implemented on classroom devices. Teachers can easily establish their learning environment with EduCart. EduCart was experimented in Da-Hu elementary school in Taipei for six weeks. It was experimented on two classes, one is grade 2, and the other is grade 4. The teacher who participated in the experiment indicated that the EduCart reduces many tedious works in managing and establishing devices supported classroom learning. According to the author´s observation, the students are more interested, and proud of their studying environment when using the EduCart. This project is a working in progress project. Several related subsystems and detailed evaluation are needed in the future.
