Abstract
Wireless networks now support Web browsing, email, real-time chat, and access to remote computing resources. With the increasing use of small portable computers, this emerging communications infrastructure will enable many new Internet applications. The innovative project at the Yangtze University is currently exploring how educators can use portable handheld computers with wireless Internet access to improve teaching and learning in both local and wide area network environments.

Mobile Education—or M-Education—is a new way of using wireless and mobile technologies for education by extending access to a desktop-based online virtual environment called MOOsYangtze to handheld devices used as part of a mobile collaborative community
We have modeled each of these locations in MOOsYangtze, such that all of the data related to a particular site is available online (Rosson, 2002)
