The Mobile Lab team is once again busily working on a locative media/mobile learning project. We have partnered with Learning Through The Arts and Four Bow Valley schools on the EasyMap project, which will see the creation of a locative mobile mapping system with an easy-to-use Graphic User Interface (GUI) to be used by students out in the wide world, collecting data (in the form of photos, text, audio and video files) and mapping it. When the pilot project phase is complete (late summer 2010), we will be releasing the system into the realm of open source, allowing community groups, developers and anyone else to make their own maps and (hopefully) make the system available for a wide variety of mobile platforms!

More to come on this exciting project as things come together in the new year!
