Mediascape application incorporating maps downloaded from Digimap showing some point and polygon triggers. However, the “Ambient Woods” study [33] where children explored a woodland with various augmented digital media sounds a note of caution, concluding that student initiated requests for digital information were more successful in promoting “independent activity and reflection” than environmentally (location) triggered media. This concurs with concerns tutors at Kingston had with the immediacy of data capture using digital devices and suggests that convenience of mobile can reduce rather than enhance the learning experience if applied unthinkingly. That said, we strongly believe that a well designed tool such as Mediascape that makes it easy to create powerful location based learning experiences would lead to a substantial increase in the use of Digimap and other EDINA content for fieldtrip work. The “Ambient Woods” concept [33] of the mobile device as a data logger, where the device is connected to a sensor or probe and records measurements for immediate or later analysis can be extended beyond a learning experience to large scale scientific data gathering employing members of the public to crowd source data. Anthony Steed and Richard Milton [34] from UCL report on a study of environmental carbon monoxide pollution that uses a set of tracked, mobile pollution sensors attached to a PDA device that recorded measurements as volunteer pedestrians and cyclists navigated an area in central London. The authors found that the accuracy of GPS in urban environment was a significant limiting factor obscuring identification of pollution hotspots by placing pedestrians in the middle of the road or wrong side of junctions.
