This talk looks at translating successful learning activities in the physical world to the digital space. Case studies from the British Museum’s Samsung Digital Discovery Centre, MOMA, Cleveland Museum of Art and others demonstrate how to take traditional analogue activities and re-imagine them for mobile and gallery-based digital applications, and the unique opportunity space that educators work in for inexpensive piloting and experimentation. Presented at an Engage seminar on 15 May 2013.
