NIE CLUES (Collaborating & Learning through Understanding Environments by Sharing) is a location-based learning app that caters for oritentation trail games (e.g Scavenger or Treasure hunts) or for context-aware mLearning.
With the GPS feature, learners are able to collaboratively add pins to maps, record events and learning evidences by capturing photos & videos and annotating their photos for learning purposes. Lessons designed with the use of CLUES requires each member in a team to engage in a common goal and work together collaboratively.
Autonomous learners will explore their areas individually to collect data. After that, they will convene to discuss their findings. CLUES allows for a ‘porous’ school as learners can switch between virtual and real environments seamlessly in their learning journey.
