Dr. Nicholas Halter, is a Lecturer in History at The University of the South Pacific.
The University of the South Pacific needed a way to make history courses more interactive and engaging for students, leading to the development of the First-Ever Technology Enhanced Learning App for Fiji. This mobile app and website provide a modern approach to history, making it accessible in a contemporary way by leveraging the tools and technologies we use today. Traditionally, history has been primarily found in magazines and old archives.
We looked at a few interactive and engaging apps on both the app stores and combined the best features from each one to come up with an app that featured not only a timeline of historical sites, but also comprised of audio stories narrated by the students themselves.
During the development, Dr. Nicholas Halter together with his history students was continuously testing every feature making sure that all bugs were eliminated and the final product exceeded their expectations.
This app also helped him improve his history course pass rate by up to 23%.
