Wireless Interactive Learning - Mannheim (WIL-MA)

Downloads

WIL-MA Software:

Here you can download the latest release of the WIL-MA-toolkit. It contains the server, a fully featured client for PCs, notebooks and PocketPCs and a first version of an administrator client to control the software system. See the read me also included in the package for further information.
A prerelease Version of the toolkit is available here (v1.0 pre1 as of 01/21/2003).

This software package is distributed as open source under the GPL license and without any warranty, use on your own risk; for further details see www.gnu.org or the license included in the package. I decided not to put the sourcecode package on this website; to obtain it, you can contact me at "scheele<at>lecturelab.de".

Alternatively you can download the first prototype implementation for evaluation purposes. For this version, two packages are available for download:

The PC Package (Server & Client) (v0.4final, released 12/18/2002) contains:

  • the main server application
  • the following services: Feedback, Messaging, Quiz
  • the student client for Personal Computers or notebooks
  • special clients for teachers and moderators

To use this package you must have a Java Runtime Environment installed (at least 1.4.0). Two small documentations that will help you get server and administration clients as well as the student client running are available as PDF.

The PDA Client Package (v0.4final, released 12/18/2002) contains:

  • a multi-purpose client for the PocketPC (which may be used on a PC/Notebook too)
  • support for the following services: Feedback, Messaging and Quiz

Since there is no native Java support integrated in the PocketPC operating system, you need to buy the commercial PersonalJava Runtime Environment Jeode from Insignia (it may be included in your software pack which was delivered with your device). As an alternative, you may want to try Sun's personal java reference implementation, which is freely available in the developers section of their homepage. The client software is tested with Sun's VM as well, but you may encounter some problems (for further information read the Sun-Java.readme file included in the client package). A small documentation that will help you to install the files on the mobile device and get the client running is available as PDF.
