“…Larger real-world spaces, such as cities, can also be augmented by letting individuals associate audio clips with locations (Rozier, 2000) or inform visually impaired people about useful sites in the vicinity, such as restaurants and shops (Blum, Bouchard and Cooperstock, 2011). Further approaches in applying ARA systems include GPS-based navigation through non-speech spatial audio (Holland, Morse and Gedenryd, 2002), augmentation of an office environment by audio notifications on the status of various activities (Mynatt, et al, 1997), mobile security applications providing spatialised audible alerts as cues for navigation to the location of possible threats (Sundareswaran, et al, 2003), and healthcare applications that use the superimposed audio to motivate users towards exercise (Orin, 2014). Another category consists of ARA games, in which players explore their surroundings to interact with virtually placed sounds controlled by the computer or other players.…”

Lifelong learning is currently being embraced as a central process that could disrupt traditional educational paths. Apparently, the (ideal) type of learning often promoted is deep and meaningful learning, though it is not always required to be so. Deep learning goes beyond superficial knowledge assimilation of unlinked facts; it aims at developing deep disciplinary understanding, transformative knowledge, personal meaning, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity and metacognitive skills. Meaningful learning occurs when learning is active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative. Technology enhanced teaching and learning methods should prove their potential to transform lifelong learning provision and facilitate the achievement of deep and meaningful learning. In the context of distance education in lifelong learning, one important challenge is the design of versatile quality assurance strategies for e-training. Based on the experiences in U P E C L-Long Learning (KEDIVIM) the authors present how the principles and attributes of deep and meaningful learning can be combined with project management in practice and be incorporated in an e-Learning quality strategy. We present i) the methods used to assess the quality of the e-Learning programmes, ii) key findings of the evaluation process and iii) first research evaluation results on the quality of learning. This research study on learning process quality was conducted by learning methods such as collaborative learning. Some results of the evaluation indicate that the e-Learning quality strategy led to e-L deep and meaningful learning.

Augmented Reality (AR), the overlay of virtual images onto the real world, is an increasingly popular technique for developing new human-computer interfaces. As human navigation and orientation in different environments depend on both visual and auditory information, sound plays a very important role in AR applications. In this paper we explore users' capability to localize a spatial sound (registered with a virtual object) in an AR environment, under different spatial configurations of the virtual scene. The results not only confirm several previous findings on sound localization, but also point out some important new visual-audio cues which should be taken into consideration for effective localization and orientation in AR environment. Finally, this paper provides tentative guidelines for adding spatial sound to AR environments.

“…Sundareswaran et al have improved object localization by playing sounds at the position of the object concerned (Sundareswaran et al, 2003). They use a wearable setup similar to the one presented by Feiner et al (Feiner et al, 1997) and extend it with sound capabilities.…”

This paper describes spatially aligned user-generated audio annotations and the integration with visual augmentations into a single mobile AR system. Details of our prototype system are presented, along with an explorative usability study and technical evaluation of the design. Mobile Augmented Reality applications allow for visual augmentations as well as tagging and annotation of the surrounding environment. Texts and graphics are currently the media of choice for these applications with GPS coordinates used to determine spatial location. Our research demonstrates that the use of visually guided audio annotations that are positioned and orientated in augmented outdoor space successfully provides for additional, novel, and enhanced mobile user experience.
