Mobile Collaboration Tool for University Education

Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of a collaboration tool for learning groups. The tool is embedded in an e-learning and m-learning environment at the University of Regensburg, which allows its functions to be accessed not only from a webbrowser but also from a personal digital assistant (PDA) or any phone which supports the wireless application protocol (WAP). In addition to the implementation, this paper also discusses the advantages of learning groups and the benefits gained by supporting them in mobile scenarios. 1.
