The Potential of Grid for Mobile e-Learning

In this paper we present the potential advantages of using the Grid for mobile e-learning, describe our experiences with implementing a mobile e-learning Grid client using current Grid technologies and look toward the next generation of Grid technology in order to assess whether it will fulfil the loosely coupled requirement of mobile e-learning.
