Enhancing the Learning in Museums

This is a workspace for a class project on User Interface and Interaction Design. Our group will be working over the semester to make museum experiences more interactive.

Project Overview

The goal of this semester long project is to enhance the interactivity of museum exhibits and facilitate long-term retention of patron learning. To achieve this, we will design an interface for a mobile device that will:

• Interact with museum exhibitions
• Offer complimentary content to the exhibition tailored to various engagement levels (or age groups)
• Expose users to mobile devices and ubiquitous learning tools
• Personalize learning for each user by offering user accounts that will bookmark interesting discoveries, track individual progress through the exhibit and interactive component, and be accessible outside of the museum as well.
