Alfredo Jornet and Cecilie Flo Jahreie have been awarded the Springer ReLIVE11 Best Paper Award, on behalf of Springer London Ltd., for their contribution "Designing for immersive learning experiences across school and museum" (Jornet & Jahreie, 2011).
The ReLIVE11 conference was held at the Open University in Milton Keynes (UK) the 21st and 22nd of September.
At the conference, Jornet and Jahreie presented a study as part of the MIRACLE (Mixed Reality Interactions Across Contexts of Learning) project, a project developed as part of InterMedia's research portfolio.
In the paper, Jornet and Jahreie explore how the concept of "space" is co-constructed in the multi-professional design work. In the analysis of the workshops, Cultural Historical Activity Theory (Engeström, 1987) is used to identify the participants’ negotiations about the affordances of the museum's space for technology implementations. It is argued that a design strategy that includes understandings of the design process as a situated, socio-cultural process, allows for innovative implementations in immersive learning environments.
The authors have been invited to submit their work for publication on a new Springer "Immersive Environments" series to be launched in 2012.
