The mediaBoard is a flexible, web-based tool which lets learners build up online web pages by sending messages, pictures and audio from their phones. Authors can set up their own online mediaBoards and use these for a great variety of mobile and interactive learning tasks and projects, such as:
Each mediaBoard that an author sets up is a bit like an Internet message board. However, the mediaBoard is a visual image, and the messages, instead of being organised in a linear way or in discussion threads, are collected around different parts of the image, like locations on a map. Users can attach audio, text and images to the zones on their mediaBoard by uploading them from their computer via the web, by e-mail, or by multimedia message (MMS) from a handheld computer or a mobile phone.
