  • Abstract
    Wireless networks now support Web browsing, e-mail, real-time chat, and access to remote computing resources. With the increasing use of small portable computers, this emerging communications infrastructure will enable many new Internet applications. Two innovative projects at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington are currently exploring how educators can use portable handheld computers with wireless Internet access to improve teaching and learning in both local and wide area network environments
