Summary

This paper describes the educational opportunities of teaching in a real time wireless classroom
using mobile devices. Conventional classroom learning has certain weaknesses. We present a survey
from two hundred undergraduate students on the problems faced in conventional classrooms. From
the survey results, specific mobile learning applications are being developed for students and
instructors. These applications could be used on a Pocket PC, notebook and mobile phone. We
provide a variety of instructional application such as classroom chat room, collaborative text editor,
synchronization of power point slides, accessing on line courseware on a mobile device, sending and
receiving feedback, email and accessing to remote computing resources. The system allows the
instructor to give on line assessments in class, which are graded instantly. Learning objects are
proposed to keep track of learning activity effectively. (Authors' abstract)
