Abstract	In recent years the diversity and the ownership of mobile devices steadily increased while the prices for this kind of devices decreased to a level that allows many students to own reasonably powerful devices. As mobile devices are also being used in learning scenarios, the challenge of today is the integration of multiple heterogeneous devices into existing and upcoming learning scenarios. This paper describes an architecture that allows easy integration of various kinds of mobile and non-mobile devices. The presented architecture will be exemplified by a group discussion scenario in a heterogeneous learning environment. The paper concludes with the description of a pilot study using the described system.
