Paper Abstract:
|
Developments in mobile phone technology, together with an increased research interest in utilizing computer games to
facilitate teaching and learning, is an important part of the background for the emergence of the area of mobile computer
games, or location based games in school. This paper describes both the design process, and an evaluation of a location
based game for teaching and learning history - Premierløytnant Bielke. We argue that by using the surroundings and
milieu that are local to the students in a playful context, we can support the construction of meaning related to the subject
of history in a way that is both engaging and worthwhile. |
