摘要:This paper presents a concept for an innovative teaching and learning project whichcombines core topics from Physical Geography with adventure and media pedagogy byproviding settings for multimedia education in the field. Locations are used as learningspaces and spatial information is integrated in a direct context. The objective of the projectis to take e-learning to the field by expanding it for mobile, flexible, location-based learningprocesses. Learning resources and outdoor activities are combined to get original natureexperiences with its varied spatial and temporal dimensions. Mobile tagging, Quick-Response Codes (QR-Codes) and mobile applications are used to access the project resultswith mobile devices in the field. The benefits and challenges for embedding mobile devicesin the curriculum are discussed by presenting a practical example and implementation ofmobile field trips and eGeo-Riddles. Target audience of the final products are Bachelorstudents. The focus of the project is on the supply of teaching and learning content tosupport the holistic understanding of spatial concepts and to create curiosity and awarenessfor environmental processes.
