Paper Abstract:
|
In providing learning materials for the digital era, a thorough knowledge of the context and the conditions under which
the learning process takes place is essential. This is especially true for museums, informal learning environments open to
a public of all backgrounds and ages, where one of the latest trends observed is the use of mobile multimedia guides as
communication and interpretation means. The body of literature is steadily growing; however, most studies focus either
on purely technical or human computer interaction issues while there has been little concern on museum learning theories
and visitor studies, as to which lessons could be learned in order to inform the design of a mobile museum guide. This
reflection paper aims to provide a first approach on this topic and serve first as a stimulus and then as a discussion basis
both for museum specialists as well as IT professionals implicated in the design of mobile museum guides. |
