Undigested notes on Web references on Handsets and teaching with them

(written by Steve Draper,   as part of the Interactive Lectures website)

These are undigested notes, especially URLs, related to both interactive lectures, and handset use itself.

    This work is part of the MIT CDIO initiative:
  • http://web.mit.edu/aeroastro/www/cdio/index.html
    and also involves others - in particular Swedish institutions who we also have been told use PRS:
