Abstract :
The idea of this paper consists of developing a new methodology based on a complex system that will be analyzed and programmed by several groups of students that must work openly and cooperatively to achieve a final global result. For this purpose, a personal digital assistant developed as an open hardware called OpenMoko has been selected. The paper details the experience of working with this system and highlights the main obtained benefits.
