The success of teaching is depending on a couple of factors where
collaboration among all participants, teachers and students are the
most important ones. With mobile devices and wireless networks, new
possibilities evolve for improvement. By promoting existing concepts
of application sharing systems, the project SASCIA (System
architecture supporting cooperative and interactive applications)
aims at developing a framework for multiple applications to support
teaching in collocated, remote and hybrid scenarios. It provides
annotation and recording to support latecomers and further
exceptions as well as subsequent replay. Moreover, configurable
context awareness among participants as well as floor and
consistency control cover a wide spectrum of applications and
learning situations. According to first experiments, the prototype
is performing well and was readily accepted by students.
