Worked with Faculty Learning Technologist
Designed a bespoke treasure hunt around Coventry
Recorded audio files with instructions in Italian (wav files using Microsoft voice recorder)
Research Project
21/04/238
Research Project (2)
21/04/239
Students required to practise four skills following written and audio prompts triggered by their location
Augmented Reality “Treasure Hunt” experience Students move from location to location based
on instructions, answering questions Different routes, instructions and questions Mobile device requiring camera, GPS and
gyroscope/digital compass support
Reponses include text messages, photos, audio and video

Mobile phones are becoming context-aware, with GPS positioning, recognition of objects by infrared or wireless tags, and automatic interpretation of images. They are offering opportunities to support new forms of learning through contextual support for field trips, location-based guides, environmental studies (Squire & Klopfer, 2007) and to assist everyday learning activities (Vavoula & Sharples, 2001).
Use in testing

Very little written on AR in HE contextDigital Literacies - (Conole and Alevizo, 2010)MALL - (Kukulska-Hulme, 2006, 2009, 2011,
2012) Language learning defined by time and place
Godwin-Jones, 2011) Apps, technological developments and language learning
Traxler (2007) - Mobile learning, conceptualisation; evaluation
Stockwell (2010) SMS, VocabularyHurd (2005) Learner Autonomy
Literature
21/04/2312
Audio files can easily be changed to any other language
Possible to design an app to build an app? 4G should improve speeds and battery life
should also improve
Scalability
21/04/2313
Improves learners’ digital literacy (Conole, & Alevizo 2010)
Takes learning outside the classroom (Brown 2010)
Positive Aspects
21/04/2314
Time consumingStill a new technologyHave to design for a variety of devices
Relies on students having suitable devices - BYOD
Negative Aspects
21/04/2315
21/04/2316
...the boundaries between traditional roles (teacher and learner) and functions (teaching and learning) are blurring. ‘Teachers’ need to be learners in order to make sense of and take account of new technologies in their practice. Conole and Alevizo (2010) p. 44
