You can create a project either by selecting the pop-up option at the plus, or by double clicking on the background. When you are within a project the plus can be used to add a new note or drawing overlay (experimental). Double clicking on the background within a project creates a new note.
Username and logout button.
Current project name/link and options(click small arrow). Current options currently include export to Google Docs (if valid gmail address and password provided) and basic HTML output, we are working on outputting a MS word document.
List of links to projects, listed by last updated.
Home button brings you to the homepage where you can see all projects as the are grouped. Preference button allows you to adjust the look of the interface and change some account details. Search button and serach bar allows you to query across a number of web search engines.

A note object, these can be created, resized and placed anywhere within the space. To edit the title just double click on the title, click the small tick that appears to save. When minimised (toggle the small arrow to the left of the title) they may be dropped on other object titles in order to embed them within the other object.
These are the editing and formatting options available with any note object. This is accessed by double clicking anywhere on the main body of the note. Pressing the small tick at the upper left saves the note and closes the editing options.
Here are more options for the note object. these allow you to highlight the object, add embedded/child object (see 10), move up level(only for embedded object), add to tree, show embedded/child objects, delete object.
This object is a child or embedded object of 7, if the parent object is closed it will hide away along with the parent.
This is the Tree view, this shows all items that have been added to the tree structure and allows restrusturing of the document, as seen in the document view (12). The structure here does not reflect the stucture in the main view, but double clicking on any title within the tree view will bring up that object within the main view.
This is the Document view, this show all items that have been added to the Tree structure (11). This creates an overview of how the the final document will look.

This project is being conducted as part of a PhD at the Centre for Research in IT in Education , School of Education and School of Computer Science & Statistics, Trinity College Dublin.
The overall focus is on PhD supervisions, planning and management with the aim of extending out to design meetings and informal academic conference meeting (ad-hoc). MobileCog leverages the latest Web 2.0 and emerging web technologies in order to deliver planning, managing and implementation tools to researchers in a mobile, collaborative and flexible manner.
Currently MobileCog's focus is on providing a writing assistant tool, CAWriter (Cognitive Assitant or Cognitive Apprenticeship Writer) for researchers, as writing is a major part of any academic work. It takes a non linear approach to writing, where the author is free to connect ideas and lay them out as they see fit, thus forming a conceptual framework that provides an overview of their research. This conceptual framework acts as the basis for the literature review. During the literature review CAWriter supports the attachment of references, annoatations, notes and quotes to research papers, and provides a quality assement form to evaluate papers. Elements from the conceptual framework can then be added into a tree hierarchy in order to create a document structure and output a basic draft document. See features and tutorials for more detail.
CAWriter is an open source project and is released under the Apache 2.0 licence. Currently, CAWriter is in the early stages of development and is not yet available for download but the latest code will be available through a subversion repository as soon as it is stable and useful.
As this is an experimental (beta) site, it is best viewed in Google Chrome 3.0+ (preferable) or Mozilla Firefox 3.5+, javascript on and a resolution of at least 1024 x 600.
