Abstract

This paper discusses the design of rich multimedia learning objects for Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). It shows how successful design principles developed for web-based learning objects have been adapted for the PDA. A prototype object and technical design guidelines have been developed, and these are outlined. The prototype was evaluated with a small number of target students, to give initial feedback on the prototype and their views of using the PDA as a learning tool. The work has produced a proof of concept, which illustrates that rich multimedia learning objects can be developed for the PDA, and it informs our future work in mobile learning.
