Digital storytelling with mobile media for inquiry-based museum learning : The student as author of the museum experience

This paper proposes a conceptual framework informed by narrative learning and inquiry learning, for designing museum experiences around digital stories crafted by students using mobile media. The museum is seen as a narrative learning environment and the student as the author of the museum experience. Two case studies, the Storyscope and the CHESS project, are reviewed to examine how digital storytelling facilitates mobile-enabled museum learning. The paper ends with recommendations for further research.
