Abstract

An architecture is presented that is a user-centered model for collaborative mobile learning. A paper prototype was first implemented to determine an optimum interface layout for mobile interaction between users via PDAs for the domain of reading-comprehension using Question-Answer Relationship (QAR). A prototype was then constructed using the results of the paper prototype test, the Java 2 Mobile Environment (J2ME), and the Java Wireless Toolkit 2.1. Unlike other systems, the interface developed provides collaborative interaction in mobile learning tasks by allowing textual or voice input.
