Abstract
This chapter introduces the migration of a Web-based cognitive tool (CT) for the generation of procedural knowledge about mathematical fractions from a desktop version to a mobile version. It aims to provide insight into the potential of human-computer interaction in mobile learning environments to encourage reciprocal tutoring and foster collaborative learning. A collaborative mobile learning environment is designed using a design-based research approach. A Web-based CT for learning the concept of fraction equivalence is improved and modified to suit the environment as applied to a mobile technology supported classroom. This chapter first delineates the theoretical design approach and empirical design methodology that underlie the migration exercise, and then discusses the architectural design of artifacts and the pedagogical design of learning activities to shed light on the development and application of mobile technology in a classroom learning environment.

Outlining the Value of Cognitive Studies in Increasing the Strategic Management within Organizations
Help us to make possible the action upon, or operating on, direct experience to organize and transform internal and external sources of information, to internalize them in representational levels. They are used to organized, coordinated and internalized sets of actions required by the mental act or specific learning task, and making possible representation of experience into higher order, cognitively more distant experiences.
