User Generated Contexts Across Spaces – Design Research Perspectives

Abstract

This extended abstract explores a significant pedagogically focused challenge for User-Generated Contexts; namely, how do we design for and develop research insights into collaborative problem solving where learners/users generate their own „context for development and learning‟ across spaces using ubiquitous digital devices as mediating tools? I will briefly present two case studies and use them to explore the challenge of moving towards an understanding of how to design for User-Generated Contexts across time and space. The paper concludes by posing questions for workshop discussion.
