Paper Abstract:
|
Context sensitive learning is a fascinating area that holds great potential for enabling learners to engage in meaning
making through interactive practice (Dourish, 2004). There are a number of unique educational affordances of mobile
devices, such as increased portability, functional convergence of technologies, social interactivity, context sensitivity,
connectivity and individuality. In terms of context sensitivity, an important affordance is that of digital augmentation,
whereby contextual data is added to objects and activities to enable deeper understanding. In this paper we review several
projects that have investigated context sensitive and location aware learning. We then provide a report of the
implementation and evaluation of a recent context sensitive system for urban planners, which is part of the CONTSENS
project. |
