A Wireless Sensor-based Toolkit for Building Tangible Learning Systems

Many toolkits for extending the physical metaphors for learning have been proposed over the years. This paper presents the design and implementation of a toolkit for building tangible learning applications based on the IEEE 802.15.14 based sensor wireless networks. This toolkit provides a connection-less and a generic object-oriented programmable environment. A sample application showing how young children can browse the Internet using tangible components is also presented.
