Description
Not being constrained to a physical classroom or the time when it has to take place opens up several new possibilities to teachers. However, before a teacher is able to shift learning outside of the classroom it is necessary to know how students behave under these new conditions. This is why we implemented a mobile learning application that monitors students’ activities and gives them the opportunity to interact and reit- erate course content at any given time. This was an effort to enhance student-content interaction which is indispensable when it comes to learning. For this purpose, we tried to develop more authentic content which is linked to a specific place. This way we were able to observe that students preferred location-based content that was located closer to the classroom. Furthermore, we were able to observe that students preferred to engage content by late morning times.
