ItemBringing the Classroom into the World: Three Reflective Case Studies of Designing Mobile Technology to Support Blended Learning for the Built and Landscaped Environment(Aalborg University Press, 2017)We report and reflect on three projects, carried out by us as educators and technology researchers over a four year period, that explore the use of mobile technologies in the fieldwork of Australian tertiary students of architectural history, landscape history and urban design. Treating these as three case studies, our focus is on the emerging process of designing, developing and deploying different forms of mobile-inspired fieldwork to complement class-based learning. The first two cases involve the development of apps that work as guides for students to explore places of architectural and historical significance in Melbourne, while the third case invited students themselves to create designs for a mobile app intended to communicate the influence of urban design thinkers on a particular place in Sydney. We consider how the iterative development and deployment of the apps and field exercises, over successive semesters, became one of extended co-design between students, tutors and teaching staff.

ItemNo Preview AvailableVisitor, Contributor and Conversationalist: multiple digital identities of the heritage citizen(Australia ICOMOS, 2016)In this paper we analyse modes of connecting to and interacting with heritage through a range of selected digital applications and social media that all relate to the history of places. With their emphasis on connectivity and online participation, these apps and sites seek to create both repositories and digital communities through which images, information, memories and experiences can be shared. Through comparison to the rise of ‘citizen science’, we propose a new way of categorising these recent mobile and web-based sites that scrutinises, in a more fine-grained way, the mode of citizen engagement that was inscribed into their designs and purpose. The simple typology of curated sites, content-hosting sites, and social network sites, provides a way to examine the possibilities and the limits for a kind of digitally-enabled ‘heritage citizen’. We ask questions around how digital and social media open up new forms of consumption and production of heritage related interpretation and content, and we tease apart issues of ownership and citizen versus institutional presence, moderation and control, and ongoing engagement.
