- The work is framed by a socio-cultural ecology approach developed by Patchler, Bachmair and Cook (in press); this outlines the triangular inter-relationships between structure, agency and cultural practice (see diagram). Specifically, the socio-cultural triangle draws on media and cultural studies and is being used to guide our investigation of the outside-in/inside-out challenge. The main theories are: Giddens’ (1984) structuration theory; cultural studies and media (Hall, 1997) regarding individualised agency within the practices of everyday life.
- The tour is authored in Mscape and uses GPS to ‘push’ learning content to the mobile phone at the appropriate location as the user walks around the area. However, activities allow space for the learners to generate their own context in the form active learning tasks and requests for the learners to keep audio blogs for subsequent reflection as they engage in the tour. The evaluation feedback (see Figure 2 for sample participants) shows the value of location- and context-aware mobile learning applications and how they can enrich the learning experience as well as engage students more within the learning activity.
