First, a redirect — let’s take “mobile” out of it and look at the ideals of a Learning Strategy. Then, let’s consider how “mobile” could support that learning strategy. Learning Strategy (Ideal) Comprehensive: Rather than develop a bunch of different systems, one framework that incorporates all aspects of the university would be ideal. Student-centered: If [...]

Game Frame for Learning (ARIS)

03-Jan-12

I’ve been researching different aspects of GPS-enhanced place-based learning since 2004, and creating mobile, place-based learning games and experiences since 2005. Since meeting with the initial ARIS developers in 2008, and joining the project full-time (2009), I’ve been pushing for easier access and general-use capabilities — to make the entry point as broadly accessible as possible.
