Users of connected devices regularly encounter technical inefficiencies that result in waiting for small durations of time. In this paper, we examine how we can leverage these brief moments of waiting when users pull-to-refresh email on their mobile phones to engage people in learning. We extended an existing mobile email client by presenting a micro-quiz when the user pulls to refresh email. The exercise is displayed within the dead-space resulting from the pull to minimize intrusiveness, and allows the user to complete the exercise without leaving the email context. In multiple iterations of preliminary user testing with 10 users and a pilot deployment with 3 users, we found that participants were able to non-intrusively integrate learning into their existing mobile activities.
