This document proposes the weSPOT project, which aims to develop a mobile inquiry-based learning platform. It identifies challenges with traditional inquiry learning like a lack of student inquiry skills and data collection tools. The weSPOT platform will provide adaptive inquiry support via mobile apps and allow students to create personal inquiry projects, collect data, and collaborate. It will bridge formal and informal learning and be evaluated to measure its impact on inquiry skills and knowledge construction. The project consists of 8 work packages to develop the pedagogical framework, technology, and evaluate the platform.

- 1. Mobile Inquiry Based Learning Proposal Number: #318499 Acronym: weSPOT
- 2. Inquiry Based Learning ? involves learners asking questions about the real world ? generating hypotheses ? collecting data, making observations ? test hypotheses, analyze and interpret data ? can be controlled experimentation, modelling, integration of existing ...
- 8. Problems, challenges ? introduction to teachers, connecting to curricula, time/formal constraints ? lacks of inquiry skills in students ? design and implementation of experiments ? support for self-tracking in the process for re?ection
- 9. Problems, challenges 2 ? need for data collection tools in context ? support for forming hypothesis and testing them via experimentation and data collection ? support for self-regulation ? take into account students domain knowledge as a starting point
- 10. Mobile TEL for Inquiry ? DATA: store data, aggregate data, perform complex computations and visualize data ? CONNECTED: mobile data collection, experience sampling, direct feedback, collaboration support and task sharing, context logging ? COMPUTATION: complex simulations support modeling, learning analytics and re?ection support
- 11. what is weSPOT ? Challenge1: A lack of inquiry skills Challenge 2: curiosity is not supported Challenge 3: Construct personal conceptual knowledge. Challenge 4: Linking e-learning with inquiry. Challenge 5: How to measure impact? Objective 1: To provide smart, adaptive inquiry support. Objective 2: Bridge formal and informal learning activities. Objective 3: personal inquiry projects and link everyday life and classroom teaching. Objective 4: Create an open source toolset. Objective 5: we SPOT will evaluate the impact.

- 17. Task 4.1 Mobile Personal Inquiry Manager personal inquiry manager available on main mobile platforms (iOS, Android) as free apps supporting learner¡¯s in a self- directed approach for creating personal inquiry projects on mobiles as also managing there existing on-going inquiry projects. The personal inquiry manager will also be the central Hub for personal badges and mobile pro?le access and networking.
- 18. Task 4.2 Context-aware noti?cation system noti?cation of mobile users based on open noti?cation protocols as XMPP. Using sensor technology in smartphones the noti?cation of users can be based on contextual ?lters relevant for inquiry projects. Learners can link inquiry projects to certain locations, physical objects, or combinations of contextual factors, i.e. the weather at a certain location at a speci?c time of the year. noti?cations can trigger the collection of data ubiquitous and context-dependent messaging services
- 19. Task 4.3 Mobile Data Collection System direct submission of sensor data and manual measurements into the work?ow system. annotations and multimedia materials. For this aim all available sensor systems on-board of mobile smartphones (Location, Accelerometer, Camera, Microphone, Lightsensor)as also extensions of existing platforms with special sensors can be used. older mobile phones can be integrated via noti?cation and submission of information via SMS systems.
- 20. Task 4.4 Mobile Inquiry Coordination Interface inquiry coordinators access to the current on-going inquiries and the contributions of all participants. It will allow central dispatching of messages and management of tasks and data. guided inquiry approaches linking formal and informal learning activities as also multi-user inquiries
