Nice team you have put together, folks ...
It might be neat to have a vimeo or youtube collection of critical contextual or mobile concepts driving this new research? No long talks or over cooked senarios... just 90 second samples... For example, some of the videos we have popped in here:
- show some of our recent work in creating new mobile resources, and other things.
This one, for instance shows the use of Apple's GameCentre.
The scenario is a mock up clearly, but the technology is real. (Both participants are Profs. at the Open University, one playing a teacher, one a student... So why is this cool? Shared controllers are pretty easy to do. SO, the thing I like about it is the view of the technological clutter scattered around the teacher. Yes, that is really Simon's desk... but in placing the iPad in the clutter we can have him turn to it, and magically, the clutter vanishes and the subtle little tablet is the whole learning world.
For the technologically minded, the controls and the shared group audio work fine (up to 4 participants, out of the GameCentre box).
