Co-design and human centric design practices have been the focus of current research efforts in the field of educational technologies but not as prevalent in mobile games to support learning. In our current research we are exploring which design methods are appropriate for developing innovative ways of learning supported by mobile games. This paper presents all those aspects related to the design and implementation of a mobile game called Skattjakt (Treasure Hunt in Swedish). The outcome of our activities has provided us with valuable results that can help us to bridge the gap between learning in informal and formal settings. Moreover, we believe that involving children in the design process of mobile games may give us new insights regarding the nature of their learning practices while learning with games.Mon Dec 19 00:00:00 CET 2011ICLSconf/icls/2010-2499-500Three perspectives on technology support in inquiry learning: personal inquiry, mobile collaboratories and emerging learning objects.2010dblp Tue Dec 13 00:00:00 CET 2011Educational Technology & Society41-3Guest Editorial - One-to-One Learning in the Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing Age.132010dblp Tue Jun 21 00:00:00 CEST 2011ICALT141-144From Concrete Experiences to Abstract Formalisms: Learning with Interactive Simulations that Combine Physical and Computational Media.2001dblp Tue Mar 15 11:58:43 CET 2011Washington, DC, USAProceedings of the 2010 6th IEEE International Conference on Wireless, Mobile, and Ubiquitous Technologies in Education65--72WMUTE '10Integrating Mobile, Web and Sensory Technologies to Support Inquiry-Based Science Learning2010design education environment haifa-mlearning learning mlearning mobile outdoors science Recent advances in mobile, wireless, and sensor technologies provide new possibilities for supporting learning activities that can be spatially distributed and incorporate different physical and environmental sensory data. In this paper, we present our technical efforts in relation to the design and implementation of mobile and web applications that integrate sensory data used to support inquiry-based science learning. In order to test the validity of our solution and its functionality and novelty, we conducted a prototype experiment with high school students in the field of environmental sciences. The initial outcomes presented in this paper point towards the potential benefits of using sensor and mobile technologies with real-time geo-positioned data and visualizations, which may increase students’ engagement, enabling them to conduct scientific inquiries and analyses in new ways.Wed Feb 09 18:04:11 CET 2011IJMBL113-35Innovation in Mobile Learning: A European Perspective12009Europe collaboration context conversation design haifa-mlearning innovation interaction learning mlearning mobile overview projects research review theory In the evolving landscape of mobile learning, European researchers have conducted significant mobile learning projects, representing a distinct perspective on mobile learning research and development. Our paper aims to explore how these projects have arisen, showing the driving forces of European innovation in mobile learning. We propose context as a central construct in mobile learning and examine theories of learning for the mobile world, based on physical, technological, conceptual, social and temporal mobility. We also examine the impacts of mobile learning research on educational practices and the implications for policy. Throughout, we identify lessons learnt from European experiences to date.

These GPS-enabled devices produce a wide range of media content (e.g., text/audio notes, pictures, or videos) enhanced by geo-tagged information. This fact poses a challenge regarding how to store and retrieve it and opens new research opportunities for visualizing this type of data. The overall aim of our current research is to develop novel approaches and methods for visualizing the content of these documents that will be placed in maps using GPS-coordinates as well as to visualize the semantical, temporal, and spatial relations between the documents themselves. We combined different visualization and interaction techniques, such as glyph-based techniques and visual clustering, to analyze the produced data. Our prototype application, called GNV System (GeoNotes Visualization System), demonstrates the interplay of different interaction techniques and components as well as their functionality.Tue Sep 21 00:00:00 CEST 2010EC-TELconf/ectel/2010596-601Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceExploring the Benefits of Open Standard Initiatives for Supporting Inquiry-Based Science Learning.63832010dblp Mon Aug 30 00:00:00 CEST 2010ECSA Companion Volumeconf/ecsa/2010c103-110ACM International Conference Proceeding SeriesOn the role of software process modeling in software ecosystem design.2010dblp Mon Jul 12 11:48:12 CEST 2010New York, NY, USAMobileHCI '09: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services1-3Sharing Experiences with Social Mobile Media2009mobile sharing social In this workshop we are interested in usability, context and user practices related to uses of social mobile media for sharing human experiences. There is a growing trend pointing to life publishing and life logging using mobile devices. Users are sharing their experiences and their life with friends in real-time by posting blog notes, images and video clips from their phones to social media services. In addition, people are tagging content either by manually or using sensory data with their phones. An interesting question to be asked is; How users are experiencing these applications and what issues make them to be successfully adopted? This workshop will offer an interdisciplinary discussion forum for both practitioners and academics interested in conceptualizing, designing and evaluating emerging social mobile media concepts and applications. The workshop, through a series of interactive presentations, will facilitate discussions aiming at identify and summarize main theoretical and interaction design concerns related to the increasing use of social mobile media in a variety of settings. The main goal of the workshop is to find out ideas that suggest promising directions for future research on social mobile media.Thu Jul 08 00:00:00 CEST 2010ICWEconf/icwe/2010518-521Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceA Cross-Platform Software System to Create and Deploy Mobile Mashups.61892010dblp Wed May 05 03:13:17 CEST 2010Fifth IEEE International Conference on Wireless, Mobile, and Ubiquitous Technology in Education31-38Combining physical activities and mobile games to promote novel learning practices2008based constructivism design education games haifa-games-course informal learning mobile outdoors research social technologies ubiquitous Mobile outdoor games can be seen as fertile ground for conducting novel learning activities that involve children in different tasks including physical motion, problem solving, inquiry and collaboration; all those are activities that support different cognitive and social aspects of learning.

Each project has shown how mobile technology can offer new opportunities for learning that extend within and beyond the traditional teacher-led classroom. Yet, the very diversity of the projects makes it difficult to capture the essence of mobile learning or to show how it contributes to the theory and practice of education. In this chapter we attempt to address the central issues of what is mobile learning and how can we design and evaluate it. Drawing on a theory of mobile learning as ‘the processes of coming to know through conversations across multiple contexts amongst people and personal interactive technologies’ (Sharples et al. 2007) we shall discuss how learning contexts are created through interaction, and how portable and ubiquitous technologies can support effective conversations for learning. We shall draw on the findings from recent major projects to show how people artfully engage with their surroundings, peers and technology to create impromptu sites of learning and to carry their conversations from place to place, from time to time, from topic to topic.Mon Jan 11 00:00:00 CET 2010Educational Technology & Society41-2Current Approaches to Network-Based Learning in Scandinavia (Guest Editorial).102007dblp Mon Jan 11 00:00:00 CET 2010Educational Technology & Society462-70Anytime, Anywhere Learning Supported by Smart Phones: Experiences and Results from the MUSIS Project.102007dblp Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 CEST 2009ICALTconf/icalt/2009393-397Integrating Co-design Practices into the Development of Mobile Science Collaboratories.2009dblp Thu Sep 24 00:00:00 CEST 2009Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning13-29One-to-One Technology-Enhanced Learning: an Opportunity for Global Research Collaboration.12006dblp Thu Sep 24 00:00:00 CEST 2009Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning3275-295Physical Activities and Playful Learning Using Mobile Games.32008dblp Tue Sep 22 00:00:00 CEST 2009Mobile HCIconf/mhci/2009ACM International Conference Proceeding SeriesSharing Experiences with Social Mobile Media.2009dblp
