Description

Dr. Elizabeth FitzGerald

In this talk, I will present my research into location-based contextual mobile learning. I will give an overview of, and background to, the field, particularly into work carried out by colleagues in Europe.

I will then explore the notion of informal learning about the landscape, through a couple of case studies: firstly, how visitors can engage with with the landscape through the use of mobile devices when visiting the Lake District and secondly what guidelines are useful for the design of location-based audio for mobile learning.

Lastly, I will present ongoing research into using crowd-sourced gelocated content for 'ad hoc' environmental education in situ.

This event will be live streamed via http://www.lsri.nottingham.ac.uk/live/

This talk will take place in Room 35a, Flexible Learning Room, LSRI, The Exchange, Jubilee Campus
