Abstract
Research on pedagogical and didactic advancements in the context of new mobile technologies is currently gaining importance. This paper presents a novel pedagogical framework, in which augmented interactions with the surrounding environment provide the students an enhanced learning experience through the gadgets they own. Our pedagogical model employs QR codes that are easily accessible through smartphone apps and stimulates the efficient development of essential communication skills. Hence, students can use their own devices to interact with the educational content, share information, and help each other while working collaboratively on different assignments. More specifically, we introduce and explore a new BYOD-based T-TEL setup that supports the creation and management of storytelling activities and fosters the development of communication skills through m-CSCL. This approach could be extended to environments specifically crafted for individuals with special needs.
