Abstract

Through iterative participatory design-based research I aim to explore the application of the Ecology of Resources (EoR) Framework (Luckin, 2008) to the design of technology enhanced contexts that scaffold learning and collaboration. Technology enhanced learning (TEL) contexts engage learners and the ecology of resources available to them as they move through time and space, in coordinated and distributed activity towards learning. Such ecologies may include technology, environmental features, humans and any other resources that can support learning. The challenge is to help the learner become aware of, access, and co-ordinate her interactions with these resources. I will formatively evaluate the EoR through participatory design of TEL contexts that scaffold language learning using mobile technology. Face-to-face and remote collaboration with teachers, native speakers and other learners will be a central part of this technology-enhanced language-learning context.
