As an initiative of Microsoft Research, the ConferenceXP team is
exploring how to make wireless classrooms, collaboration, and distance
learning a compelling, rich experience by assuming the availability of
emerging and enabling technologies, such as high-bandwidth networks,
wireless devices, Tablet PCs, and the advanced features in Microsoft
Windows XP.
The ConferenceXP research platform enables researchers and developers
to create distributed applications that take advantage of ConferenceXP
technology as well as Tablet PCs and wireless networks. It also enables
them to develop the collaborative tools and applications they need
without having to build them from the ground up. By partnering with
research organizations and universities, the ConferenceXP research
project combines the academic community’s expertise in the learning
sciences with Microsoft’s expertise in technology.
Microsoft Research seeks to further enhance research in the areas of
real-time collaboration, wireless-enabled classrooms, and distributed
learning. By funding creative projects that have will have an impact and
advance the state of the art within their domains, we encourage
researchers to incorporate collaborative technologies within their
applications, test-beds, and frameworks to further enhance learning and
research processes.
