ABSTRACT

The Time Trails project is a collaboration between the Centre for Intermedia at the University of Exeter, Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, 1010 Media, and Exeter City Football Club Supporters Trust (2013). It is a mobile web app to allow users to follow, annotate and create trails using text, images and videos, and to respond to them via social media. Two trails narrating the history of Exeter City Football Club and its Supporters Trust, used for mobile learning and as part of sport and cultural tourism experiences are presented. We show how Time Trails can be used as a presencing tool to establish new ways of encountering and learning on digital heritage within our daily lives.

RÉSUMÉ

Le projet Time Trails est le résultat d'une collaboration entre le Centre for Intermedia de l'University of Exeter, le Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, le 1010 Media et l'Exeter City Football Club Supporters Trust (2013). C'est une application web conçue pour des dispositifs mobiles et qui permet aux usagers de suivre, de commenter et de créer des scénarios en utilisant du texte, des images et des vidéo, diffusés via les réseaux sociaux. Deux scénarios racontant l'histoire de l'Exeter City Football Club et de son Supporters Trust sont présentés et utilisés pour l'apprentissage via mobile. Ils font partie d'une expérience sur le tourisme sportif et culturel. Nous montrons aussi comment le Time Trails peut être utilisé en tant qu'outil de présence pour établir de nouvelles manières de rencontre et d'apprentissage sur le patrimoine numérique dans notre quotidien.
