The paper describes a practical experience in the design and implementation of a wireless project with the main objective to assist students in attending an astrophysical course. Wireless computing was chosen because this technology transforms every wireless room into a flexible laboratory with students using handled devices both laptops and personal digital assistants to work on their own or in collaboration with others interacting with teachers. Introduction Mobile learning is the intersection of mobile computing and e-learning solution: accessible resources wherever people are, strong search capabilities, rich interactions, powerful support for effective learning and performance based assessments. Necessary based on wireless connectivity and handheld computers to combine content, practice activities and personalized...

Emerging technologies in the field of wireless communications used in conjunction with mobile dev... more Emerging technologies in the field of wireless communications used in conjunction with mobile devices are leading to the development of new opportunities for the educational environment to improve learning and teaching experience. The emerging mobile learning paradigm tries to implement the vision of ubiquitous and pervasive computing: within this scenario, the “Learning from Starlight” project aims at experiencing these technologies to improve education and outreach of Astrophysics. Three classroom of students of three different stages in the Italian education have been involved to join the two phases in which the educational project has been composed depending by the location (each school or a research institute). A classroom activity relating the observation and analysis of astrophysical phenomena has been followed by a full day in a research institute to improve knowledge about a particular argument and have a direct interaction with astronomers. This paper describes the realiza...

DRACO provides the framework through which the Italian astrophysical community participates in the international Virtual Observatory (VO) effort.

In the first the project of didactics and outreach "Catch the Stars in the Net!" is described, while in the second one an account of some important lessons learned on the way the Network use change the rules of the play is given. An account of the new Web module: "The Universe at Your fingertips", especially developed for visually impaired and even completely blind Web users in finally given.
