Abstract :
Based on experience in orchestrating collaborative learning scenarios with ubiquitous computing technology, two strategies for extending a co-constructive modeling environment with PDAs connected through a wireless LAN are described. One application is an annotation tool, the other replicates the modeling system on the PDA, both provide full synchronization with the PC environment. General implementation strategies for such extensions are discussed.
