    The paper analyzes a mobile learning project—mGage, developed by the Department of Educational Technology at San Diego State University. This paper first reviews literature related to mobile learning in K-12 classrooms, mobile learning design, and message design. Using a comprehensive rubric (with 16 dimensions), we scored the WebQuests created by two groups of K-12 teachers, with one group participating in the mGage project. The study reveals that the mGage group scored much higher than the comparison group, in tools, cognitive processing, and the quality of resources. It seems that the two groups differ in dimensions other than participation in mobile learning. Finally, we summarize the current progress of Project mGage and identify directions for future research.
