“…Examples include many of the prototypes developed and tested within the 'Mobile Bristol' initiative and the 'Equator' 2 research project. In Riot1831 for example public reactions to the media scape are collected and distilled in a series of guidelines for designing location-based drama ; (FitzGerald et al, 2013).…”

Resumo: Desde os primórdios da civilização que o modo como contamos e consumimos histórias define o sentido que damos ao mundo. Cada nova tecnologia implica um impacto nos artefactos narrativos. Hoje em dia, as tecnologias digitais ubíquas permitem estruturar e distribuir narrativas de modos novos e sem precedentes. Este artigo discue a evolução da narrativa interativa surgida pelo advento de interfaces mó-veis. Tentarei exemplificar esta evolução a partir do estudo crítico de estudos de casos e ter em conta o meu próprio percurso de investigação. Palavras-chave: narrativa transmedia; narrativa interativa; meios de comunicação; historias multimedia com localização; tecnologias conscientes do contexto; interação Homem-computador.Resumen: Desde los orígenes de la civilización, el modo como contamos y consumimos historias define el sentido que damos al mundo.

Every new technology has an impact on our narrative artifacts. Nowadays ubiquitous digital technologies allow us to structure and distribute our narratives in novel and unprecedented ways. This paper discusses the evolution of interactive storytelling brought about by the advent of mobile Interfaces. I will exemplify this shift reviewing a series of case studies highlighted from my own research path.

“…Η εφαρμογή φάνηκε επίσης να ενισχύει την εμπειρική μάθηση (Bidin & Ziden, 2013), αφού οι μαθητές "βίωναν" εικονικά τις διαδρομές της αναπνοής και του αίματος, γεγονός που τελικά οδήγησε σε καλύτερες επιδόσεις (Al-Mashaqbeh & Al Shurman, 2015;Sloan, 2012). Επίσης, η καλύτερη οπτικοποίηση των συστημάτων (με 3D μοντέλα και animation) μπορεί και αυτή να έπαιξε ρόλο στη διαφορά των επιδόσεων των ομάδων (Dunleavy et al, 2009;FitzGerald, Taylor & Craven, 2013;Specht et al, 2011). Η Ομάδα2 είχε τη δυνατότητα να μελετήσει το σχήμα και τη δομή των διάφορων οργάνων μέσα από 3D απεικονίσεις και μοντέλα, στις οποίες μπορούσαν να εστιάσουν (zoom in και zoom out) και να περιστρέψουν, για καλύτερη παρατήρηση.…”

Περίληψη Η εργασία αφορά τη χρήση εφαρμογής για ταμπλέτες για τη διδασκαλία των συστημάτων του ανθρώπινου οργανισμού. Σκοπός ήταν να διερευνηθεί κατά πόσο μια εφαρμογή με τρισδιάστατες απεικονίσεις και στοιχεία επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας μπορεί να βοηθήσει στην καλύτερη κατανόηση από τους μαθητές του τρόπου λειτουργίας του αναπνευστικού και κυκλοφορικού συστήματος και του τρόπου με τον οποίο αυτά συνεργάζονται. Για το σκοπό αυτό, οργανώθηκαν δύο ομάδες μαθητών της Στ' Δημοτικού, οι οποίοι διδάχθηκαν το ίδιο αντικείμενο με δύο διαφορετικούς τρόπους διδασκαλίας. Στην πρώτη ομάδα εφαρμόστηκε ομαδοσυνεργατική διδασκαλία, η οποία ενισχύθηκε, σε κάποιο βαθμό, τεχνολογικά, ενώ η δεύτερη ομάδα χρησιμοποίησε αποκλειστικά και μόνο ταμπλέτες. Οι διδακτικές παρεμβάσεις διήρκησαν η κάθε μία τέσσερα διδακτικά δίωρα. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν συνολικά 50 μαθητές. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων πραγματοποιήθηκε με τη χρήση φύλλων αξιολόγησης και ερωτηματολογίου. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η ομάδα που χρησιμοποίησε τις ταμπλέτες είχε καλύτερες επιδόσεις σε σχέση με την άλλη ομάδα. Η έρευνα ανέδειξε τη θετική επίδραση που είχαν οι ταμπλέτες στις επιδόσεις των μαθητών, ενώ φάνηκε και η θετική στάση των μαθητών απέναντι στη χρήση τους στη διδασκαλία. AbstractThis study involves the use of a mobile application for teaching facts about the human body systems. The purpose was to examine whether an application that uses 3D models and augmented reality elements, can help students to better understand the functions of the respiratory and circulatory system, and the way these two systems collaborate with each other. In order to examine the above, two groups of 6th-grade students were formed and they were taught using two different teaching methods.

“…Further, results from the user trial in [42] suggest that the combination of different sound files and a constant background sound of a riot meant that the user was continuously 'in' the riot: BThere's one thing to read about something and see pictures but when you actually hear the pain and the anguish … it makes you think well this actually happened.T he Riots of 1831 were also the centre of another study. The authors in [14] describe their study of two audio guides that utilised location-based triggering of audio to visitors wishing to learn about historic events (specifically, the 1831 Reform Riot) related to the city of Nottingham. In commenting on the LME featured in the study, participants described appreciating being able to relate the spoken narratives to real locations in the city and that it: Benabled them to use their imagination to reconstruct the events of the time.^ [14].…”

Supporting the consumption and co-authoring of locative media experiences for a rural village community: design and field trial evaluation of the SHARC2.0 framework

Locative Media Experiences (LMEs) have significant potential in enabling visitors to engage with the places that they visit through an appreciation of local history. For example, a visitor to Berlin that is exploring remnants of the Berlin Wall may be encouraged to appreciate (or in part experience) the falling of the Berlin wall by consuming multimedia directly related to her current location such as listening to audio recordings of the assembled crowds on 10th November 1989. However, despite the growing popularity of enabling technologies (such as GPS-equipped smart phones and tablets), the availability of tools that support the authoring of LMEs is limited. In addition, mobile apps that support the consumption of LMEs typically adopt an approach that precludes users from being able to respond with their own multimedia contributions. In this article we describe the design and evaluation of the SHARC2.0 framework that has been developed as part of our long-term and participatory engagement with the rural village of Wray in the north of England. Wray has very limited cellular data coverage which has placed a requirement on the framework and associated tools to operate without reliance on network connectivity. A field study is presented which featured a LME relating to Wray's local history and which contained multimedia content contributed by members of the community including historic photos (taken from an existing 'Digital Multimed Tools Appl (2017) Noticeboard' system), audio-clips (from a local historian and village residents) and video (contributed during a design workshop). The novelty of our approach relates to the ability of multiple authors to contribute to a LME in-situ, and the utilisation of personal cloud storage for storing the contents associated with a multi-authored LME.
