ARC Linkage Project

Designing for Mobile Learning in a Technology Museum

Prof Peter Reimann, Dr Andrew Dong

Partner Organisation: Powerhouse Museum

This project has been funded by an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant.

The main objective is to investigate which pedagogical models are most appropriate for informal (museum) learning and how these models can be aligned with ICT-mediated learning tools. In collaboration with The Powerhouse Museum, we will develop a pedagogical model of informal learning, create activities supported by a mobile learning and collaboratory technical infrastructure to nurture experiential learning and informal discovery, and investigate informal learner experiences within this ICT-mediated informal learning environment. The project will create a reference implementation of learning environment, document its development process, and evaluate its effect on museum visitors.
