Abstract :
Among the scenarios for pervasive learning are teleteaching and project work. The former tries to deliver a lecture to a distributed audience, while the latter tries to enhance the learning effect by concentrated collaboration. In this paper, we want to show how an ambient environment, designed to support teams in a meeting, can be used to support pervasive learning scenarios as well as meetings. The developed applications help the users in both types of scenarios with pro-active assistance, enabling the users to focus on their task, rather than fiddling with the controls of the devices.
