| PocketLearn Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) |
What is a title?
<top>
A "title" is a specific example of PocketLearn"content". It
is what you ultimately create with PocketLearn content creation tools. It
is your intellectual property, which has a name, hopefully some flash cards,
maybe some tests, etc. It is your unique creation and you are its author.
What is the
technology behind PocketLearn?
<top>
The PocketLearn concept is based on existing industry standard
technologies such as HTML and XML, which provide a proven and durable
foundation for our products. Each PocketLearn "card" or test question,
for example, consists of standard HTML.
How do I
create content for a PocketLearn viewer?
<top>
PocketLearn makes available a free software product called Flashcard Studio.
This software tool greatly simplifies and accelerates the process of creating
titles for all PocketLearn viewers. You can download Flashcard Studio from the PocketLearn.com
web site.
Can I create titles using
any HTML?
<top>
When designing the HTML, keep in mind that many current and possibly future
devices you can use to view PocketLearn titles are "resource constrained". That
means that their capabilities for viewing HTML may be limited. For
example, PocketLearn’s smartphone viewers cannot show Flash animations, process
javascript, etc. We also strongly suggest that with the exception of basic font
styles, you do not utilize CSS (style sheets). It is best to stick to the
basics to allow your content to display successfully on all devices. Before you
submit any titles to pocketLearn.com, we suggest you test them on as many types
of devices as possible.
Can I profit from the
titles I develop?
<top>
Yes! Using PocketLearn tools you can create titles with a variety of license
types ranging from “free” to “commercial”. You can submit the titles that you
create to the pocketLearn.com web site, where they are categorized, stored, and
available to the online community for downloading. If you really want to
make it easy for yourself and your customers, you can use PocketLearn’s PocketPay
program to receive payment (via PayPal) for any of your titles sold
through the PocketLearn web site.
Your investment of time and knowledge to create titles results in something of
value. If you're an educator, for example, it's a great way to earn
revenue for yourself or your educational institution. However, we leave that
choice to you.
Do I
have to pay a royalty for each title that I license?
<top>
No. If you use PocketPay to receive payments, PocketLearn
charges a small percentage of the transaction for its services, which mostly
cover our cost of providing that service. Beyond that, any profit made from
your creations is 100% yours (and the tax man's).
Can I really develop and distribute PocketLearn titles for free?
<top>
Yes. Just download the free Flashcard Studio software or
create the titles right on our web site.
Do you support
languages other than English?
<top>
PocketLearn viewers can accept content in any language supported by the target
device.

, giving us the details. We only
ask that you use one of our standard HTML links, which we will gladly provide
to you. We reserve the right to reject any link offer for any reason.
Can I distribute
