thats funny i'm doing a research paper on photoreading for Eng. lol
anyway don't worry about the other people in your dorm not wanting to listen, most people would rather do nothing than learn something new that will help them....its funny if you where to really sit down and tell them how much easier studying will be once they learn to use the system they get excited, but when they realize they have to practice for while to get the steps right most want to quit.Human nature is a funny thing.
hope it works out for you in your experiment.
