The Effect That Screen Size has on Video-Based M-Learning.

This paper focuses on using m-learning to teach university students. It reports on an empirical investigation that studied the effect that screen-size has on video-based m-learning. The results suggest that screen sizes typical of a PDA device may facilitate more effective learning, in comparison to screen sizes typical of a mobile telephone. The implications of this finding for the design of m-learning environments are discussed

Dynamic streaming media: creating custom programmes in real-time

This demonstration examines the potential of streaming media to deliver custom programmes and interactivity using database systems. It examines the development of the Lifesign Project in the UK where a substantial collection of video programmes were supported by virtual editing tools allowing users to structure programmes for their own needs.
