Our Locative Media Projects

The question that we ask: How can place-based narrative/storytelling engender a more in-depth relationship between people and their communities, between students and learning. Some call it authentic; we think it compelling. What happens when we move our digital storytelling practice out of the lab and into the street. What happens when people tell stories of, for, by, about, and in their communities. What happens when we move learning out of the classroom and into the street, using the environment as part of the lesson? In addition, mobile learners are seeking "just in time, just for me" lessons in small manageable formats that they can undertake when it suits them. We are busy exploring narrative archeology and place-based storytelling/learning as it finds form through emerging technologies.
