Reading.... and counting the days

Here I am again :) Counting the days for my Thesis Panel and for the events of next week. Researching and studying. Well, today I focused on the Literature related to Mobile Interface Design. Some interesting papers:

GRASSO, A. & ROSELLI, T. (2005) Guidelines for Designing and Developing Contents for Mobile Learning. Proceedings of the IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education. IEEE Computer Society. Highlights which issues are relevant to develop content for Art courses on Mobile devices.

PAREDES, R., G. J. , OGATA, H., YANO, Y. & MARTIN, G. A. S. (2005) A Multi-Model Approach for Supporting the Personalization of Ubiquitous Learning Applications. Proceedings of the IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education. IEEE Computer Society. They described the implementation of a centralized system with multi modal based approach to support the personalization of such application.

JOSEPH, S. & UTHER, M. (2006) Mobile Language Learning with Multimedia and Multi-modal Interfaces. Proceedings of the Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technology in Education. IEEE Computer Society. They show a very interesting audio and image study and pointed out the value of incorporating multimedia elements into mobile learning applications.

PAOLINI, P., GARZOTTO, F. & COLAZZO, S. (2005 ) Let's go mobile! Design issues in multichannel "accessible" applications for cultural heritage. Museums and the Web 2005. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Archives & Museum Informatics. They introduce the concept of multi-channel Web applications and explore, from a design perspective, the concept of interoperability. Also, they show basic concepts related to mobile phones (hardware, communication features, software capabilities).

I also had a look to other papers but I will include in the next post (as I haven't finish yet :)
