Abstract
One of the challenges in vocational education and training system that takes place in dual-context learning environment is how to integrate the knowledge from different contexts. The gap between the practical experience from workplaces and the theoretical knowledge from schools has been the barrier to its goal of comprehensive learning experience. Workplace experiences are usually limited to particular situations and their connection to the corresponding general knowledge is often weak. The goal of the research is to design a way to expand the workplace experience so that the learner can explore broader space of practice. Using photos as the representation of an experience, we consider expanding the original experience by manipulating and sharing them.
