There were a total of 52 full papers, representing an acceptance rate of about 30%, plus one invited paper accepted for inclusion in this LNCS proceedings. The authors of these accepted papers | 100 C. Hornung et al. 2 Background State of the Art and Challenges eLearning systems consist of platforms pedagogy and scenarios in application domains. Nowadays platforms Moodle 2 Blackboard 3 Ilias 4 are based on client server architecture. eContent is stored on server side management systems and delivered to learners on the client side. Courses themselves consist of sequences of pages and atomic assets. To support searching and classification content can be annotated with standardized meta-data LOM . Today s eLearning pedagogy principles follow the traditional model of classroom learning and homework. Application domains are pre-defined by eLearning providers and delivered as pre-fabricated pieces of learning material. The state of the art in eLearning environments is defined by computers with Internetconnection. This technology of web-based trainings WBTs is well known and conceptually mature. However with the upcoming Web the usage of mobiles as devices for both downloading content as for uploading results or input see Flickr 5 becomes more and more prevalent. With this trend the challenge arises of the development of eLearning solutions taking the integration of mobile learning into consideration. Considering the amount of eLearning platforms the traditional classroommetaphor of learning is still prevalent. Contents are delivered to the students and the students can download the materials from the platform. Interaction among students and the teachers is rather rare. Innovative Web technologies for cooperative and collaborative work such as voice and video over IP and mLearning play only a marginal role although the benefits through the possibilities of collaborative learning with these tools are promising. Informal learning today becomes the dominant form of learning 6 . The principles of the Web like the ability to connect people to distribute information world wide and discussing ideas with people form all over the world have similarities to
