Summary

ShoutBox is a cross-platform tool which allows young people to recognise, capture and showcase their informal out-of-school learning experiences. Young people generate and collate different forms of content using their mobile phone and then share this online, tagging their learning with different categories such as sports, work, art, music etc.
