Using Mobile Digital Storytelling to Support Learning about Cultural Heritage

Abstract

This paper presents our on-going research related to the use of mobile digital storytelling (mDS) as means for promoting innovative ways of collaboratively learning about cultural heritage. In a joint effort we have worked closely together with our fellow stakeholders – a local museum and a primary school – on actively engaging a group of Swedish school children and their teachers in using mobile digital storytelling as facilitator for introducing the concept of seamless learning. The outcomes of these efforts provided us with valuable insights on how to proceed further in our work of designing versatile mDS applications supporting collaborative learning in authentic contexts.
