Using mobile devices to promote situated learning opportunities provides opportunities for constructivist learning. TourGuide is a web-based application that leverages HTML5 to create a mobile environment capable of supporting student-created tours. This presentation will outline projects involving TourGuide that allow students to use the entire campus as their classroom, exploring ideas and artifacts in their original contexts.
OUTCOMES: Make the case for the power of mobile-based situated learning * Generate awareness of our tool, which supports student learning in this manner * Contribute to an understanding of the powerful learning experiences that can be had by experiencing artifacts in their authentic context
