Extending dynamic Web-based multimedia templates to reach users of pervasive computing devices in an e-learning environment

In this paper, we present an open standards approach to reach and augment users of pervasive computing devices to create powerful multimedia presentations using dynamic Web-based multimedia templates. In a mobile e-learning environment where time and resources are scarce and user productivity is particularly demanding, templates minimize the complexity of creating presentations by offering assistance and flexibility for mobile e-learners to create and customize them directly from their devices in an efficient and effective way.
