Paper Abstract:
|
Most students globally have mobile devices and the Global Students Laboratory (GlobalLab) project is integrating mobility into learning. First launched in 1991, GlobalLab builds a community of learners engaged in collaborative, distributed investigations. Long relying on stationary desktop computers, or students inputting their observations by hand into web-forms, GlobalLab today is pioneering the use of mobile devices as sensors to collect and stream data to the shared database where students can use visualization tools to see data on a world map, analyze the information, identify patterns and trends, and extract meaning from aggregated data. Moreover, this paradigm can enable the practice of crowd-sourced student-scientist partnerships where students stream locally-captured time- and location-stamped data for use by scientists in their endeavors, getting in return feedback, advice, and much needed motivation for learning. |
