Title
Designing an Untethered Educational Digital Library
Abstract
Digital libraries, such as the SMETE DigitalLibrary at UC Berkeley (www.smete.org), are quicklybecoming mainstream tools for science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STE&M) education atall levels. And while the vision exists for "anytime,anywhere" access to resources from educationaldigital libraries, the reality is that learners aretethered to these resources through connectedcomputers in classrooms or homes. Because nearly85% of students' time is spent outside a formalclassroom, transforming coincidental, daily events intomeaningful learning opportunities would be expectedto impact the level of science learning for children.This paper reports on a workshop held at UC Berkeleyon the use of multimedia, wireless technologies andother information technologies for educational digitallibraries and knowledge management. The paper alsodescribes a prototype solution for an untethered digitallibrary used to stimulate a discussion at the workshopon nomadic inquiry and the potential for nomadiccomputing technologies to support the pursuit ofpersonally-relevant questions and explanations linkedto real world contexts and problems.
