(2006)
2.2 Seamless Learning More simply, Seamless Learning literally means learning without seam. The situation where we can learn seamlessly wherever we are, whenever we are.

(3) the open-ended comments of the participants whose outside-class learning time was short
1) I prefer paper books to e-book, because it is not easy for me to.2) I had to prepare some tests for other classes and did not have enough time to read.3) Before I noticed, it was running out of battery and I could not read when I wanted to.4) I was busy with my club.5) It was difficult to handle Galaxy Tab.6) I do not like e-book because I cannot put annotations. 7) It was hard to find time to read.8) E-book was not easy to handle, which made me hesitant in reading.9) It was bothering to charge the device.10) The story was difficult to read.11) I do not like to read in the first place.12) Even though I set it manner mode, it produced some beep sound and I got.

4. Evaluation
(4) open-ended comments from the participants who got involved in more outside-class learning
1) It was easy to consult the dictionary, so it was easy to go on reading.2) When I touched an English word, then its Japanese translation
appeared and I liked it very much.3) I prefer tablets for reading.4) I liked the illustrations.5) The story was very interesting, so I could get absorbed in reading.
4.4 Discussion
4. Evaluation
(5) open-ended comments in favour of SCROLL
1) It was good because I could learn words from other classmate uploaded words.2) The words which I uploaded appear as a quiz, and I think it is a good way
to memorize words (plurality opinion).3) I thought it was convenient.4) It was easy to remember by answering quizzes.5) It was fun to answer quizzes (plurality opinion). 6) Answering quizzes reminds me of the words forgotten.7) I did not like to make a vocabulary book on spreadsheets.8) “Relog” function was very convenient.9) I forget new vocabulary very easily, but it was a good way to review by answering
quizzes.10) It was easy to handle.
4.4 Discussion
4. Evaluation
(6) unfavorable comments on SCROLL
1) There came out a quiz of a word which I did not upload and I did not like it.
2) Sometimes, some weird translation came out. So, a dictionary function as a translator of an uploaded English word was not good enough.
3) Some distractors in quizzes are so simple that it was very easy to choose right answers.
4) It was troublesome to log into the system and input new vocabulary

5.1 ConclusionOur hypothetical question: Does SCROLL contribute to the solution of lack of learning time?
5. Conclusion and Future Works
Evaluation IIOutside-class learning time increased only when they read an e-book together with the System even though no statistically significant difference was detected.
Evaluation IThey hardly had outside-class learning
