A Mobile Application for Collecting Numerical and Multimedia Data during Experiments and Field Trips in Inquiry Learning

Abstract

In this paper, we present work in progress on developing and integrating a mobile application for collecting numerical and multimedia data into a learning environment called SCY-Lab. This learning environment is currently being developed within the European SCY project on collaborative inquiry learning. In SCY, collaboration is centered around the sharing of "emerging learning objects" (ELOs) produced by the students themselves. The aim of this paper is to show how the ELO centered approach of SCY has been used to integrate mobile scenarios into the SCY system.
