Abstract

The mobile classroom project is based on a vision of the future in which students use a pen-based tablet with wireless communications as a front-end to their education-service provider. The term “mobile classroom” refers to the ability to create a virtual classroom whenever students are “tuned” in. The project involves the use of a C++ environment for hand-held devices to reach programming languages, operating systems and database systems to computer science students
