Pedagogical advantages of mobile technology in museums
• Mobile technology can increase visitor engagement with the physical environment (Naismith et al. 2005)
• Increase confidence, motivation and involvement of visitors, students and staff (Burkett 2005)
• Easy access to mobile technology and mobility at a relatively low cost (Rey, Coen 2011)
• Ability to learn anytime, anywhere (Miller 2012) • A flexibility within the possible pedagogical applications
(various spatial layouts, groupe work) (Rey, Coen 2011) • Continuous learning in and outside of the classroom
(mobility) (Rey, Coen 2011) • Allows technology to be used in a way that naturally ties
into learning activities, guaranteeing a more integrated use of the mobile technology (Rey, Coen 2011)Learning in the 21st
