EXP: Bridging Learning in Urban Extended Spaces (BLUES) 2.0

网络学习和未来学习技术计划为支持展望学习技术的未来并推动我们了解人们如何在技术丰富的环境中学习的努力提供资金。网络学习探索(EXP)项目设计和构建新的学习技术，以探索它们的生存能力，了解有效使用它们的挑战，并研究它们促进学习的潜力。该EXP项目将继续在学习科学研究人员、展览设计师、图书馆和博物馆组织的馆长以及为纳什维尔地区服务的社区组织之间开展合作(从一个热切的奖项开始)。目标是开发和研究连接城市公共空间和博物馆/图书馆藏品的移动数字技术，以创造新型的学习活动。这些技术将使纳什维尔的年轻人和其他城市居民(或来访的游客)能够创建和分享数字空间故事情节(DSSL)。DSSL使用个人叙事将上述精心策划的藏品的档案媒体以步行或骑自行车的规模映射到城市社区。DSSL是一种叙事索引和媒体传递结构，使过去和现在的文化遗产(如美国根音乐和民权运动)的活力方面以个人、具体的规模提供。随着积极参与这类新兴技术成为公民参与的一种日益重要的手段，民主社会面临的一个关键挑战将是开发新的学习和教学形式，通过这种形式，公民，特别是年轻人，能够流畅地使用它们。这项研究将进一步发展学习过程的理论，人们通过这些过程为未来的活动创造场所(例如，创建历史名胜之旅，收集数据并对地面数据进行地理编码，以影响社区发展)。该项目将进一步开发档案材料，将其作为数字沙盒，在音乐城的区域范围内讲故事，并将确定和发展数据管理、数字制图和空间分析方面的概念，以明确用于制作和共享DSSL。并设计和研究如何使用创作DSSL来了解公共历史、数据管理以及数字地图和分析。该项目还将探讨如何利用DSSL帮助用户不仅了解公共历史，而且了解支撑DSSL本身的概念和技术(数据管理；数字测绘和分析)。对移动技术和数字地图的关注将促进对人/计算机/环境相互作用的理解。

The Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies Program funds efforts that support envisioning the future of learning technologies and advance what we know about how people learn in technology-rich environments. Cyberlearning Exploration (EXP) Projects design and build new kinds of learning technologies in order to explore their viability, to understand the challenges to using them effectively, and to study their potential for fostering learning. This EXP project will continue collaborations (begun under an EAGER award) among learning sciences researchers, exhibit designers, and curators in library and museum organizations with extensive cultural heritage collections, and community organizations serving the regional area of Nashville. The goal is to develop and study mobile digital technologies that bridge public urban spaces and curated museum / library collections in order to create new types of learning activities. These technologies will enable youth and other city residents (or visiting tourists) to Nashville to create and share digital spatial story lines (DSSLs). DSSLs use personal narratives to map the archival media from the aforementioned curated collections onto city neighborhoods at a walking or biking scale. DSSLs are narrative index and media delivery structures that make vibrant aspects of past and present cultural heritage (e.g., American Roots Music and Civil Rights activism) available at a personal, embodied scale.As active participation in emerging technologies of this sort becomes an increasingly important means of civic engagement, a critical challenge for democratic societies will be to develop new forms of learning and teaching through which citizens, and especially youth, become fluent with them. This research will further develop theories of the learning processes through which people make places for future activity (e.g., creating tours of historic places, gathering and geocoding data on the ground to influence neighborhood development). The project will further develop archival material as digital sandboxes for storytelling at a regional scale in the Music City, and it will identify and develop concepts in data curation, digital mapping, and spatial analysis for explicit use in making and sharing DSSLs. and design and study how authoring DSSLs can be used to learn about public history, data curation, and digital mapping and analysis. The project will also explore how DSSLs can be leveraged to help users learn not only about public history but also about the concepts and technologies (data curation; digital mapping and analysis) that under-gird the DSSLs themselves. The focus on mobile technologies and digital mapping will advance the understanding of human/computer/environment interactions.
