Abstract :
This paper presents our current efforts towards finalizing a complete workflow for mobile digital storytelling (mDS) supporting the concept of mobile seamless learning (MSL) in educational settings. Our purpose with the present study was twofold: to initiate the incorporation of complementary software solutions concordant with the mDS workflow proposed in this paper, and to try to consolidate the sustainability of technology enhanced learning efforts like these by encouraging the participating teachers to implement ideas, inspiration and routines from the mDS workflow into their everyday educational practices. However, even though the study outcomes from the pupil activity were rewarding for all stakeholders, exposing intensified motivational boost and dedication among the pupils, we still recognize a challenge in how to motivate and inspire teachers to dare launch and implement future similar efforts on their own.
