Abstract
Interaction and cooperation in traditional face-to-face learning situations is limited due to organisational and time constraints associated with the communication in class. This paper proposes a new approach to support and extend face-to-face learning scenarios by using a combination of handheld devices, an electronic blackboard, and cooperative software. Their usage enhances cooperation and interactivity among all students in the class by providing a set of specific tools to the teacher and the students, e. g. voting, quiz, or brainstorming. The approach is implemented in the ConcertStudeo system and tried out in a university course.
