RFID

Radio Frequency Identification

An RFID 'tag' is a small object of varying size and shape capable of storing data, that is usually either attached to something, or 'positioned' at a location. The data can be read when the antenna a tag contains, receives radio-frequencies from a nearby transceiver.

CNM is looking into ways RFID technologies can be deployed in a learning environment. The project page contains an example of a simple but highly customizable educational based 'mobile' game.
