【 摘 要 】

Technology enhanced learning (TEL) is considered a key element for lifelong and cost-effective learning processes. Nowadays, with the rapid development and evolution of the Web 2.0 (e.g. wikis, blogs, etc.) new learning paradigms have emerged. Instead of a simpler model where students consume instructor-written documentation, it appears to be a natural process that users (or learners in this case) may become a prosumer (a combination of producer and consumer). In the context of TEL this implies the creation of a new species: The teaner (a combination of teacher and learner). Additionally, TEL is now exploring alternative forms of content such as story-telling and educational gaming. These two approaches, when combined, can be mutually beneficial, with games bringing the educational stories to life and with the storiesproviding a solid narrative backbone for the games. In this work, we propose an approach to merge educational gaming, interactive story-telling and collaborative creation of content, glued together by interoperable multimedia metadata. Finally, we discuss aspects of mobile learning and the challenges posed by adding a fourth dimension for the problem: letting teaners go mobile.
