The problem being addressed»Fragile material»Decontextualised
Project Overview
![Page 6: Scarlet ELAG 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565bd16d8b42a48268b4e50/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Aims»Use AR to add value to the learner experience.
»Produce and publicise a methodology that other Special Collections libraries can follow
Considerations»How does the use of AR enhance Learning & Teaching?
»What application does AR have to the wider audience?
Project Overview
![Page 7: Scarlet ELAG 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565bd16d8b42a48268b4e50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
» Tuition Fees increased in most UK universities to £9000 per year.
» Students require more demonstrative input and contact time from academics.
» E-learning materials offer flexibility to support traditional form of study.
» Engaging students with innovative use of technologies will help universities to be seen as cutting edge.
The wider context

» Combining the magic of seeing and handling primary sources with leading-edge technology
» Surround objects with interpretative material.
» Bridging the gap between tutor-mediated seminars and independent learning.
» Users retain information when actively involved in a learning experience.
AR Student Benefits

» Morgan Stanley forecast that by 2014 mobile internet usage will overtake user access through traditional desktop means.
» “The way children use media through the day is also changing… suggesting a push-button, on-demand culture, which is moving away from scheduled television programmes.” – Childwise survey, children 7-16

» At the start of the project Junaio was only AR browser to have GLUE functionality
» Different channels for subject areas
» Browser available as a free app
» Works through a mobile device
» Open source SDK

» The GLUE object or visual reference should be kept with the Edition, in this case Dante’s Landino but can also be copied for student to take away.
» User journey should be self contained to browser app.

» How effective was the SCARLET application in enhancing the student experience?
» How can feedback be used to inform the next development phase?
» Does AR add value to students study and assist with learning outcomes?
» Is AR more appropriate/beneficial for specific student demographics?
Initial Evaluation objectives
![Page 26: Scarlet ELAG 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565bd16d8b42a48268b4e50/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
» Technology was easy to use.
» Provided a central reference to library systems and external resources.
» Beneficial for initial planning of essays and basic knowledge acquisition.
» Video introductions related to specific objects were most valuable asset in the delivery.
» Enjoyed using the iPads working with peers.
Feedback - Positive
![Page 27: Scarlet ELAG 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565bd16d8b42a48268b4e50/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
» Resources were already available online (Blackboard)
» Students felt divorced from physical object; linking to web app diluted the experience
» Activity was prescribed and not aligned with some users research methods consulting physical secondary texts.
Feedback - Negative
![Page 28: Scarlet ELAG 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565bd16d8b42a48268b4e50/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
» “Makes learning fun”» “Offer a fresh perspective. Student-led, i.e., using
more initiative about how to research/study» “Give a more realistic perspective – puts you “in”
the situation. Makes learning more exciting and interactive”
» “It can make you feel like you’re not studying, almost fun and I think information goes in more like that.”
Feedback – Student Quotes
![Page 29: Scarlet ELAG 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565bd16d8b42a48268b4e50/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
» Use of AR should be more contextual and linked to the object.
» Best used in short byte size learning chunks.
» Must deliver unique learning values different from existing online support.
Feedback – Lessons Learned
![Page 30: Scarlet ELAG 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5565bd16d8b42a48268b4e50/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Feedback – Lessons Learned
» User should become less conscious of the technology and more engaged with the text.
» Users learn in different ways and AR may not be appropriate to all students.
» Evaluation needed from other user groups and course areas.
