The widespread use of short-range wireless communication technology in many areas requires students who major in electronic engineering to have a basic understanding of the technology. Therefore, there is a necessity to strengthen experimental teaching in short-range wireless communication course. This paper presents a pocket laboratory named Cannon for the above course, which will be taught at the second or third semester of the department of electronic engineering in Changzhou Institute of Information Technology. Cannon is used to introduce to students the basic application implementation methods of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication practically. Cannon not only contains a complete Bluetooth intelligent hardware system, but also has its own JUMA SDK, a BLE application development framework developed by JUMA Technology. The feedback from students shows that Cannon can make their learning process faster and encourage them to acquire the skills necessary to accomplish the BLE application.
