Designing Mobile and Social Learning Experiences
Joanne Jacobs, Australasian CRC for Interaction Design (ACID)
25th January 2007
This workshop focused on the importance of interaction design in the creation of effective mobile and social learning experiences. Such experiences help to create a "social identity". Additionally, central to a successful learning experience using emerging technologies is the need to involve the end user at every stage. Joanne Jacobs demonstrated exemplary projects in mobile and social learning undertaken by the Australasian CRC for Interaction Design (ACID) and provided useful guidelines on how we can potentially implement these concepts within a Scottish context.
