Learning on location with cinematic narratives

This paper describes a narrative-centered approach to learning using location-aware mobile devices, with theories of learning as the basis for a system that utilizes techniques from the cinema. Theories of learning are introduced to explain how narrative can inform learning in mobile scenarios. Location-aware technology is then described, focusing on one recent project. Last, a prototype system under development is described.
