Abstract :
Advanced computer technology has a potential power to completely change education style. Ubiquitous computing framework allows students to learn anywhere at any time. It also enables a teacher to electronically organize some materials on site and present them according to students´ situation. In this paper, we describe an interactive teaching aid called Micro E-Board designed and implemented to solve some problems existing in currently available e-learning technology. The proposed system allows users to easily build an intuitive e-learning environment anywhere at any time based on mobile technology and prompts interactions between a teacher and students with a set of easy-to-use functions.
