The ongoing improvement of portable devices and the increasing ubiquity of wireless networks enable the development of services and applications for anyplace- any-time collaboration among mobile users in many different environments, such as at home, in public areas, in universities, in companies, among others. It is expected that the use of portable, wireless-enabled devices in classrooms improves the interaction and engagement in the learning process. This work describes a distributed application named iPH (Interactive Presenter for Handhelds) that supports the sharing and co-edition of presentations among an instructor and students of a classroom, as well as the middleware components used for the development of iPH. This system can be executed on a wide range of devices, such as tablets, notebooks and handhelds (palmtops or smartphones), and uses the device`s context information to adapt itself to improve, for example, the interaction with the user.
