| Samenvatting: | Final report from a project that aimed to develop and evaluate innovative approaches to learning and teaching in the field. The motivation rests on the long-recognised benefits of fieldwork: the application of abstract knowledge to practical reality outside the lecture theatre, skills of interrogation and interpretation, an emphasis on student- initiated learning, and social interaction between students as a part of learning. Three Australian universities partnered to explore new approaches to fieldwork with the catalyst for innovation being new mobile technologies. Four studies of subjects taught in the Built Environment investigated the benefits and limitations of using multimedia resources in situ, and of students creating assessable content for a mobile medium. |
