Abstract

Research suggests that collaborative classroom activities offer many benefits for learning. To collaborate successfully, students need adequate tools to share ideas and resources, develop and support arguments, and cooperate to solve problems. Handheld computers are emerging as a flexible and portable solution that provides students with "ready to hand" support to engage in collaborative activities anytime, anywhere. Handhelds can also be coordinated with desktops to support small group collaboration when larger workspaces are needed.
