Abstract
The omnipresence of m-devices, and especially those of the cellular phones type, certainly makes the basis for the introduction and use of m-learning systems, but their implementation heavily depends on the area to be covered hence showing a different degree of complexity. This especially holds for the area of digital design, where there is the need for handling logic schemes which includes both displaying and modifying them in addition to the usual imaging of text and graphics. In this paper we discuss essential HCI issues, which are related to the implementation of a Mobile Virtual Laboratory for digital logic design. We make use of a pragmatic approach by blending a number of interaction methods known from other application fields hopefully providing a holistic effect in the process of learning and teaching in the mobile.
