Towards pervasive learning: WeLearn.Mobile. A CPS package viewer for handhelds

Smart applications are influencing our life more and more. This paper presents an application where pervasive computing is used in the context of e-Learning. First a short introduction to the ongoing changes concerning pervasive computing and particularly e-Learning is given, followed by a report on an e-Learning framework used in schools, universities and the area of continuing adult education. This framework is the basis for the viewer application, which provides the possibility to present CPS (Content Packaging Specification) packages on handhelds (namely Pocket PCs). The paper concludes with an account of possible extensions and prospective future work.
