Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of finding and accessing online educational resources from mobile wireless devices. Accomplishing this task with a regular Web search-and-browse interface demands good interface skills, a large screen, and fast Internet connection. Searching for the proper interface to access multiple resources from a mobile computer we have selected an approach based on self-organized hypertext maps. This paper presents our approach and its implementation in the Knowledge Sea system. It also discusses related research efforts and reports the evaluation of our approach in the context of a real classroom.
