Definition
C5 (compact, connected, continuous, customizable, collective simulations) is an architecture to tightly connect four information technologies (handheld devices, desktop computers, the Web, and end-user programming) into an engaging, inquiry-based learning environment.

The Mr Vetro project
A distributed simulation of the human body. Tested in real world setting, this approach looks promising. Initial evidence of a comparative textbook teaching vs. simulation field test with 2 classes shows:
- Better scores in non-standard complex problem-solving tests ("deeper understanding")
- Same standardized test scores (which is a good result)
- Better retention (after 1 month)
- Increased motivation
