Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. This is a joint project between Kingston University and De Montfort University Builds on two earlier HE Academy funded projects: Rapid Reaction and Response (R3) at KU focussing on mobile classroom technologies Web 2.0 tools and approaches at DMU to develop institutional knowledge and understanding of these tools and environments and associated professional development.
  2. The School of Geography, Geology and the Environment (GGE) at Kingston University run a series of fieldstrips, both nationally and internationally throughout the year. The project focusses on fieldtrips attended by students studying on both the GIS and Geography Degree programmes.
  3. Student groups are often distributed across a field area and traditionally may have limited interaction with other groups. However each group may be investigating components of a complex investigation where real-time / near real-time collaboration / information exchange may enhance understanding and problem solving.
  4. Students were asked to photograph specific features of interest in the field and upload them to the photograph sharing site Flickr. This can be done using a mobile phone camera and then emailing the image to the Flickr server. Using the dedicated Flickr application that can be downloaded onto specific mobile phones allowed a grid reference, tags, and a description to be added to photographs. These photographs could be available on Flickr within minutes of being taken with other students then having the ability to add further comments. A RSS feed was made available using specific tags which fed the photographs into the VLE and allowed students to pull them into their PLE.
  5. Live tracking using a mobile phone with integrated GPS. The Instamapper mobile phone application was used which broadcasts a geographical reference (in addition to altitude, speed and bearing) at a given time interval which can be fed to a public website.  to: - enable students back at the institution tThe track is also recorded and can be exported and displayed via Google maps.  This facility could be used o access relevant resources / real-time databases / perform analyses relevant to the location and feedback to the field group confirm sampling strategies / geographical gaps in data collection. The link provided is one of the interactive tracks recorded on The Duver as part of the Isle of Wight field trip.
