Abstract
The use of mobile technology among churches, congregations and other Christian communities is still in its infancy. However, there are lot of opportunities for educational technology solutions to support informal learning also in religious contexts. We have successfully applied a design research framework to build a cross-platform mobile application that allows easy content sharing and community building in religious learning environments where mobile technology is rarely exploited to enhance learning.
