Paper Abstract:
|
Mobile learning activities of commuters have widely been neglected. The paper reports on the adaption of a grounded innovation approach involving a futures workshop for interaction design and ideation based on ethnographic insights in the field of mobile learning. Current obstacles and utopian futures of mobiles learning lay the grounds for envisioning new systems to support mobile learning for public transport. A system to enhance comfort zones for mobile learners is being specified and illustrated. It proposes a gesture-based handling of tablet computers in order create an adaptable and comfortable personal learning environment with individually adaptable and familiar modules. An iDesk prototype preserving a personal comfort zone for mobile learners is presented. The system intends to support formal and informal learning in mobile times. |
