In this paper, we describe the Mobile‐IT Education (MIT.EDU) system, which demonstrates the potential of using a distributed mobile device architecture for rapid prototyping of wireless mobile multi‐user applications for use in classroom settings. MIT.EDU is a stable, accessible system that combines inexpensive, commodity hardware, a flexible sensor/peripheral interconnection bus, and a powerful, light‐weight distributed sensing, classification, and inter‐process communications software architecture to facilitate the development of distributed real‐time multi‐modal and context‐aware applications. We demonstrate the power and functionality of this platform by describing a number of MIT.EDU application deployments in educational settings. Initial evaluations of these experiments demonstrate the potential of using the system for real‐world interactive m‐learning applications.
