Paper Abstract:
|
Museums play an important role in life-long learning with over 100 million visits in Germany alone. Museum visits
provide fertile grounds for interest development and learning not only during formal school-based education but also as
free choice activities by pupils and adults. In our contribution we present work in progress that strives to analyze
potentials and psychological consequences of using mobile devices to meet situational interests of visitors in museum and
for capturing this interest in a personalized exhibition wiki page to enable post-visit reflection and discussion. Due to the
high similarity of learning in museums and learning in other informal settings (e.g. high autonomy of the learner, no
formal evaluation, fleeting situational interest) the immediate satisfaction of situational interest and assessment/collection
of information may be useful for lifelong learning scenarios in general. |
