COLLAGE: Collaborative Learning Platform Using Game-like Enhancements
The COLLAGE project brings to secondary school students and their teachers a
mobile learning platform for context-dependent games. Fun,
interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and challenge beyond the four walls of the
classroom create new learning opportunities.
The COLLAGE platform supports the authoring and playing of a
board-like game on a site of educational interest. The game is played
with the aid of mobile learning technology (mainly mobile phones and PDA's, and
GPS technology) with direct communication with players situated on site or in
the classroom.
The COLLAGE project is supported by the eLearning initiative
of the European Commission; it started on 1 January 2006 and will be completed
by 1 January 2008. |
