Regan, Melissa. "Tomorrow's Teaching and Learning." Online posting. 8 Jan. 2001. Tomorrow's Professor. 26 Feb. 2003.

Summary: In this academic paper available online, Regan discusses a project undertaken at the Stanford Learning Lab in evaluating a mobile learning prototype. The subject matter for the prototype was learning language. From the user study, Regan concludes that screen sizes and restrictions of cell phones available at the time (2001) are too small and limiting to provide compelling information.

Use: Though cell phone display technology has advanced a great deal in the 2 years since Regan's project, it is not widely distributed. One benefit of structuring my project as a service is that we can deliver a baseline technology to the client. Even at a maximum display quality, however, to be mobile, the screens must remain below a certain size. It was with this study in mind that I developed the Body Learning component.
