Beyond the Classroom with Data Visualization, Indoor Positioning, and
the Mobile ExperienceKyle Parker and Denise Jones, Ball State University
In the classroom, working memory connects with the learner's past experiences and asks just two questions to
determine whether an item is saved or rejected.
“Does this make sense?”and
“Does this have meaning?”

Professor Lara Kuykendall with students from the Art Museum Theory and Practice course
Students were able to create, name, and curate one theme.
Developed an emotion bond with the museum collection and their chosen work
Took an active interest in the usability of the app.
Students are more likely to gain greater understanding of and derive greater pleasure from learning when allowed to transform the learning into creative thoughts and products.
