(Yet more) Mobile Creativity
“Travelling on trains gives me Nme to shape ideas”
@ugfl – 2nd Year student
Great Expectations?
Open, Social, Mobile, Networked, Responsive, Flexible
Tools/platforms come and go We don’t have to be experts! Honest, open dialogue is key Learners support learners (resident experts?) Recognition of learner roles (badges?) TIME TO THINK ABOUT NEW MODELS FOR SUPPORT?
Embracing ���the Anarchy…
Alternate Reality Games
“an interacNve narraNve that uses the real world as a plaLorm and uses transmedia to deliver a story that takes place in real Nme and evolves according to parNcipants' responses. Players interact directly with characters in the game, solve plot-‐based challenges and puzzles, and collaborate as a community to analyze the story and coordinate acNviNes -‐ the internet is the central binding medium.”

Email (fire fighNng)
Hi all, Thanks to you lot and your detecNve work (and gezng me his email address ;) I’ve just made contact with the mysterious Rufi Franzen. Firstly, you’ll be relieved to know that you have nothing to worry about in terms of data security – there have been no breaches of security. I can’t say any more at the moment as I’ve been sworn to secrecy, so I need you to trust me on this. What I do know is that this is going somewhere good – amazing in fact. I don’t know much more at this stage, and I’m not sure I’m going to be told. Anyway, let’s chat about it tomorrow – remember the feedback session 3-‐5 in 3.34! See you tomorrow. This is crazy – but ace. Helen
Learners driving the curriculum

“The numbers beneath his Steve Jobs vid come back as crackthecode”
“We could make a class crowd-‐sourced film”
“I’ll open a Google Doc and get everybody to pitch in their ideas”

The Reveal: ReacNons
TransformaNons
“You now have me pouring over all the blogs. The subtlety and deliciousness of this game and how you all dealt with each issue on a day to day basis is staggering… it is good to know that I played a part in possibly the greatest thing I have ever been exposed to…”
“I will always remember Rufi, and the way it has forced me to think about certain things. I’d love this way of teaching to become a permanent fixture in our educaNon system (I’ve just wriben 1200 words on a Friday night for God’s sake, and
it’s not even for an assignment!)”
So was it worth the RISK?
“This was a fantasNc learning experience; The intrigue, the teamwork, the puzzle solving; Everyone who has taken part in the process has brought their own theories and ideas, everyone has helped solve a lible bit of the puzzle.”
“this is something I’ll never forget”
“I wanna do it again!”
“Just so pleased to have been involved in this ARG, Rufi will live forever!”
“Today I realized just how amazing the small things in life can be. Yes, this is a massive cliché but, yes, it
is true!” “It was incredible, we all watched in the rain as passers by watched the work we had created,
broadcast on a huge screen in one of the most famous
ciNes in the world.
