Co-Design Practices for the Development of Mobile Open Inquiry-Based Learning for Ecology

• Mobile devices are well suited for supporting science education since learners can pervasively collect, visualize, and analyze data in the field. Learners also have access via these devices to a variety of educational resources, as they develop new ways to participate in collaborative learning activities.  In this paper we present the initial phase of our LET´S GO! an international project (Learning Ecology with Technologies from Science for Global Outcomes). In the coming three years, the project will develop the notion of “open inquiry” in the field of ecology for K-12 students, through the design of engaging collaborative learning activities supported by mobile and sensor technologies to take place in Sweden and the United States.
