We need to talk about learning….

MUSE3 :: Learning

It’s about reach…

- a mediation of intimate and public spaces

- ’experience verticals’ – for specific audiences, places and times.

- thousand-channel lifestyles.

MUSE3 :: Learning

It’s about reach, context…

- the media equivalent of landscape architecture

- urban, community and school spaces designed for creativity

- personalization – Nokia’s OVI and Apple’s MobileMe

- participative research – UBC’s ‘RESCALE’ (Researching Campus Learning Ecosystems)

MUSE3 :: Learning

It’s about reach, context & community…

- redressing media’s sociopathic history

- rebuilding the home-community-school ‘3-legged stool’ of education

- the ‘learning city” & “creative city” movements

- an urban “renaissance 2.0” enabled by mobile media
