Awareness of shared goals & adaptive information presentation to support collaborative learning in museums
Mag. Eva Mayr
This project explores the use of adaptive mobile technology for more goal-oriented collaborative learning in informal settings. Visitors to a museum usually do not give priority to learning and knowledge building. It is assumed that awareness of shared goals and presentation of adaptive information , that re-situates exhibits in the context of visitors’ shared interest, enhance learning. Awareness and adaptation lead to more elaborated conversation during the visit and thereby learning. Die Assumptions are tested empirically in a virtual (study 1), a laboratory (study 2) and a real museum (study 3).
