The combined use of iPads, QR-codes and social media creates an interactive learning experience on- and off-site, which allows students to immerse themselves in the quest and stories while learning storytelling, digital and media literacy skills. Over the seven weeks of the project students receive video messages and communicate with the ‘Keeper of the Books’ via a blog in school. They as well visit the palace twice where they investigate and collect story ingredients by using iPads and scanning QR-codes. This way students can access and record media resources on-site at the palace which they can later access online at school to create their own stories.





At the same time the quest and story are extended beyond the classroom. Enthused by the work in school the children can transfer their knowledge to their families. Together they create digital stories and QR codes in after school sessions, drawing from themes that bring the palace and the school community together to celebrate a shared heritage.
