Abstract: This paper presents a concept for an innovative teaching and learning project which combines core topics from Physical Geography with adventure and media pedagogy by providing settings for multimedia education in the field. Locations are used as learning spaces and spatial information is integrated in a direct context. The objective of the project is to take e-learning to the field by expanding it for mobile, flexible, location-based learning processes. Learning resources and outdoor activities are combined to get original nature experiences with its varied spatial and temporal dimensions. Mobile tagging, Quick- Response Codes (QR-Codes) and mobile applications are used to access the project results with mobile devices in the field. The benefits and challenges for embedding mobile devices in the curriculum are discussed by presenting a practical example and implementation of mobile field trips and eGeo-Riddles. Target audience of the final products are Bachelor students. The focus of the project is on the supply of teaching and learning content to support the holistic understanding of spatial concepts and to create curiosity and awareness for environmental processes.

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from the
early adoption of technical wizardry to the ubiquitous,
if unconscious use by the masses. The creation
of the GISociety is on its way through technological
development, theoretical and empirical scientific
research and inclusion of technology into education
with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to further
develop the GISociety.
