2nd IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education (WMTE'04)

We introduce the Transportable Research Instrument (TRIcorder) System, an implementation of a PDA-based laboratory (PBL). The hardware component uses PDAs and wireless sensors to conduct and collect data for high school laboratory experiments. The software component, Experimental Assistant uses a gesturing user- interface to lead students through the experimental procedure and graphically present the experimental results. The TRIcorder system design attempts to capitalize on the unique PDA's affordances of portability, context sensitivity, and individuality to implement a PBL.
