An Open Architecture for Face-to-Face Learning and Its Benefits

We already had the opportunity to present our category-based concept for the support of face-to-face learning during the last symposium. In the meantime, we made further experiences that contributed to the refinement of our concept and given publication. Our last paper served to present the technical basis of our concept for the development of an open architecture and is recommended to be read, since we now present the results and benefits of its application in the classroom. We examine not only the benefits for lecturers and learners, but also provide examples that illustrate our contributions for developers and supporters. The discussion of our results would be assisted by the presentation of features, use-cases and selected results of our continuously performed evaluation. All of them would be used to demonstrate the advantage and the power of our contribution that enabled us to adopt valuable features of other systems, to integrate completely new features and to combine our systems even with external ones
