Information Services have recently purchased a year’s license for an online tool that enables users to create a mobile game or event based around location and utilising users mobile phone GPS. The tool could be used for location based learning activities or field trips as well as other location based activities.
We are looking for tutors or schools who may be interested in taking part in a pilot using the tool to engage learners in location based activities.
To find out more about the tool visit: http://platformhelp.scramboo.com/
To try a demo use the QR below from your mobile phone.
During the pilot you will be given full support from the Learning Technologies team but in return would be required to provide feedback as part of the pilot evaluation.
To participate in the pilot you will be required to complete an application detailing your planned use.
The pilot phase has now concluded. If you would like more information please contact your LTA.

Hello Marion
If you have any spare places after the schools have applied would you consider opening up this pilot to support staff? I currently don’t work with students but I’d like to see whether we could use this in our events.
Thanks
Hi Nina
Happy to meet to discuss if that’s at all helpful.
