Current and emerging technologies provide increasing levels of situation- and location based information. It is critical in an increasingly information- and knowledge-based society that visitors, citizens, and students are prepared to access, think critically about, and process that information. | VNU Journal of Science, Vol. 32, No. 1S (2016) 149-157 Understanding Complex Landscape of Memory, Commemoration, and Culture with Location-based Technology Andy Mink1,*, Chris Bunin2, Matt Dunlevy3, Christian Lentz4 1 National Humanitites Center Albermarle County Public School 3 Radford University 4 University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill 2 Received 06 October 2016 Revised 18 October 2016; Accepted 28 November 2016 Abstract: Current and emerging technologies provide increasing levels of situation- and location based information. It is critical in an increasingly information- and knowledge-based society that visitors, citizens, and students are prepared to access, think critically about, and process that information. This panel will illustrate a series of proof of concept projects that leverage the emerging technologies of location-based technologies to enhance the educational experience at sites in the United States and Europe. This projects leverage technology to not only access information, but to build materials for formal (classroom-based) as well as informal (site-based) learning. These materials have value for teachers and students in classrooms across America, and they also be important additions to the on-site and at-memorial visitor experience. Keywords: Memory; commemoration; culture; location-based technology. 1. Moderator Andy Mink Will frame the session with a detailed summary of educational trends in the digital age with a particular emphasis1on memory and commemoration. As access to big data increases, schools and universities must provide new opportunities for student investigation, inquiry, and production. The National Humanities Center is the only research center in the world dedicated to the humanities, and these emerging technological tools provide a powerful means to accomplishing a greater understanding of cultural landscapes. 2. Chris Bunin Will feature the use of geospatial technologies allows the interactions of place, space, time,
