2014: ETHZ, Center of Learning and TechnologyCall for a Platform for Location-Based Mobile Learning

Students’ direct experiences

at the respective location.

Bridging the gapThe theoretical study ofplace-related teaching content

Development and evaluation of a platform for location-based mobile learning.

As an add-on to existing didactical concepts, the platform allows to create location-based learning modules, which can later be used in a mobile app.

|| 01.05.2023Christian Sailer, Joram Schito, Peter Kiefer and Martin Raubal 11

Success Factors (Requirements):

Integrated platform for lecturers and students Interdisciplinary conception Low technical barriers for usage Long-term maintainability and adaptability to new

technologies
