AudioWalk M

This book presents the processes and outputs of a research project on education. The project was an inquiry into the learning possibilities offered by a bespoke, historically informed audiowalk, designed to be experienced in the archeological site of ancient Messene (Greece). The design and delivery of the audiowalk was envisioned as an educational method for a broad student age group (9-18). This work describes the rationale that shaped the project; the aims; and the research processes used for the accomplishment of the objectives. It presents and contextualizes the historic, technologic, theoretical and artistic foundations upon which the overall research was based. The work analyses and evaluates quantitative and qualitative findings and information about the learning experience, gathered from student-participants who collaborated and contributed in the research project. This book is aimed for educators and sound-artists that are interested in designing or even getting to know the cons and pros of site-specific educational audiowalks.
