The work of MCL Director, Eleni Kyza, and former MCL member, Yiannis Georgiou, has been recently published by Springer in the book  “Emergent Practices and Material Conditions in Learning and Teaching with Technologies”, edited by Teresa Cerratto Pargman and Isa Jahnke.

The chapter is titled “The Impact of Materiality on the Design of Mobile, Augmented Reality Learning Environments in Non-formal, Outdoors Settings”. In this chapter the authors discuss the socio-material aspects of effective learning with mobile Augmented Reality technologies in non-formal and outdoor learning conditions and emphasize that, as the field is still new, there is a need to consider optimal designs to enable and facilitate student learning.
