Paper Abstract:	The research question in this paper is how a Field Learning Video Blog (FLvlog) has to be designed in order to optimize learning processes taking into account changed everyday communication habits of students. The system is designed to meet pedagogical as well as functional requirements for learning in fieldwork settings. The main difference to state-of-the-art learning management systems (LMS) is the ability of the FLvlog to upload fieldwork videos via smartphones and annotate them in graphical and textual form directly on the spot. A further difference is the ability to use dedicated smartphone applications for ethnographic research for data capturing with full integration into the FLvlog via software interfaces. During the fieldwork the students analyzed the experience of customers of parcel delivery companies using innovative delivery technologies as alternatives to traditional home delivery. Videos of the customer behavior were recorded and annotated by the students. The main learning aim was the application of technology acceptance models to analyze customer experience. After the fieldwork of several months, students evaluated the FLvlog in comparison to traditional paper-based case study learning. They examined the FLvlog with regard to activation, emotion, and satisfaction with the learning process, perceived learning success, and satisfaction with the FLvlog software superior to paper-based cases. From these results, implications for further improvement of the FLvlog were derived.
