Abstract
Handhelds or Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) may just become the mobile computing technology that revolutionizes the face of learning. The intuitive interface, portability, and wealth of third-party software applications make the handheld an ideal educational tool to enhance instruction and learning in and out of the classroom. Educators are exploring ways in which the handheld computer can improve active learning in the classroom, and also provide students with valuable insights into real-world applications of handheld technology.
