Latest Museum Practice explores how museums are exploring the potential for digital learning
Increasing numbers of museums are introducing digital elements into their learning strategies, from touchscreens in galleries to online resources.
But the “digital” in digital learning isn’t just a reference to the technology used. It is also a nod towards some of the characteristics of digitality, particularly participation, dialogue and empowering individuals.
This issue of Museum Practice explores how museums are exploring the potential of digital technology to offer personalised learning experiences with a focus on collaboration and participation.
There are case studies on the use of augmented reality in museums, digital learning games and online resources. Digital developer Joe Cutting also explains how museums can create effective games that allow visitors to immerse themselves in a learning experience.
The use of digital technology in learning and interpretation often sparks debate about the role and authority of museums. Does going digital disempower museum staff and their expertise? Vote in the Museum Practice poll and have your say.
