paper we discuss our work on supporting situated, experiential learning in social events, through online/onsite interaction and collaborative use of mobile devices such as PDAs and smartphones. We describe our empirical experiences in exploring these issues through an experiment at the Memoria Futura augmented conference and the design of the related i2tv system. We discuss the insights and lessons learned from this work - the specifics of different social situations, the typical roles and interaction styles inherent to such augmented contexts, and their implications for interaction design to support learning in such conditions. We show how the undertaken field trials point to the need for supporting active participation of the audience on-site and for enhancing co-located social interaction. In particular, we discuss how our findings informed the design of a mobile application concepts and the MoMAS system for personalised media annotations and visual awareness of shared community experience. Finally, we discuss how this concept supports experiential learning through unobtrusive creation of personal memories of shared events, augmented co-located P2P social exchanges and collaborative reflection on shared experience. In doing so, we present related interaction designs, early prototypes and outline future work.
