smart phones are amazing collections of sensor technologies. can these sensors, especially location, orientation and maybe the camera be used to facilitate new forms of teaching and learning, eg. for new students at the start of their first semester, for a course like »ways of thinking in informatics« (denkweisen der informatik), or in the »onboarding« of new employees

the goal of this bachelor or master thesis is to find a simple and easy to adapt strategie that can be used to create »distribued« learning units. this includes looking at existing approaches like educaching, QR rallys, audio walks or hybrid scavenger hunts,, designing and implementing elements of an approach that is easy to maintain and fill with content, and evaluate those elements with students in the context of a large first-year informatics course.
