Abstract	A number of studies have evidenced that handheld devices are appropriate tools to facilitate face-to-face collaborative learning effectively because of the possibility of ample social interactions. Group Area Network, or GroupNet, proposed in this paper, uses handheld devices to fill the gap between Local Area Network and Body Area Network. GroupNet is an independent network where all members are located at the same place and all handheld devices involved in it are interconnected by peer-to-peer wireless technologies. Mobility is the most distinct characteristic of GroupNet. This paper describes the architecture of GroupNet and demonstrates its functionality in the specific area of mobile learning. Various scenarios are also described in detail to give guidance to instructors. These scenarios apply GroupNet to collaborative learning activities and situated learning activities. With rapid growth of mobile technology and global business context, many more possible scenarios of using GroupNet are expected to emerge in the future.
