Description¶
Myartspace is a mobile phone and web service developed to support museum-based inquiry learning by enabling students to collect, transmit, and synthesise multimedia evidence across museum and classroom settings.
Components¶
- Myartspace mobile service for inquiry-led learning across museum and classroom: Myartspace is a service using mobile phones and a website to support inquiry learning between classrooms and museums. Students collect photos, audio recordings, text comments, and objects via two-letter exhibit codes during a museum visit; content is automatically sent by GPRS to personal online stores. In post-visit lessons students create personal galleries synthesising collected evidence to answer inquiry questions set in a pre-visit lesson. (Vavoula et al. (2009))
Claims¶
- Myartspace extended the time students spend engaged with exhibits in the museum [+W]
- Myartspace enabled students to gather substantial multimedia evidence during a museum visit [+W]
- The post-visit lesson supported reflection and synthesis, but students could not effectively process all collected items in one lesson [+W]
- Collecting with Myartspace prompted collaborative and competitive negotiation among students about what to collect [+W]
- Students found Myartspace easy to use and reported the visit was more engaging than traditional museum visits [+W]
- Technology sometimes distracted students from the learning experience, but distraction was balanced by the usefulness of content and structure [+W]
