The Handheld Devices for Ubiquitous Learning (HDUL) project
The HDUL project funded by Harvard’s Provost and under the guidance of Professor Chris Dede, sought to determine how wireless handheld devices (WHDs) – which include, but are not limited to, cellphones, personal digital assistants, and mobile gaming devices – could enhance learning and teaching in university settings. During the 2003–2004 and 2004–2005 academic years, HDUL successfully integrated WHDs into eight diverse courses at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) and the Harvard Extension School (HES).
Their website documents the support materials and publications developed from the project.
You might also enjoy a streamed presentation by Chris Dede. (Be patient & sit through the first few minutes of introduction – or grab a cuppa.)

[...] Some good introductory commentary here at “Dial M for Learning,” with links to the HDUL project at Harvard – excellent papers and commentary. [...]
