- 1. ELI 2012 Annual Meeting Special Collections Using Augmented Reality to Enhance Learning and Teaching (SCARLET) Matthew Ramirez
- 2. Project Overview Aims »Use AR to add value to the learner experience. »Produce a methodology that other Special Collections libraries can follow, making these resources accessible for research, teaching and learning. Challenges and considerations »Students must consult rare books within the controlled conditions of library study rooms. »The objects are isolated from the secondary, supporting materials and the growing mass of related digital assets. »What application does AR have to the wider audience? »How does use of AR enhance Learning & Teaching? »Differentiation and blended learning (Jo to write)
- 3. Educational Context in the UK » Tuition Fees increased in most UK universities to £9000 per year. » Students require more demonstrative input and contact time from academics. » Universities have to offer more supported e- learning materials supplementing contact time. » Students expect increased differentiation in learning styles in contrast to traditional didactic approach.
- 4. Stakeholder Roles » SCARLET is unique in that it has a multi-disciplinary team working to achieve aims with a focus on student learning Mimas To evaluate learning with students Mimas John Rylands Library Project Management and AR Access and technical integration technology with digitised content and special collections Academics Award winning academics from Humanities faculty to develop and deliver content
- 5. Team SCARLET
- 6. Introduction to AR » Augmented Reality (AR) is a term for superimposing computer graphics over a live view of the real world » Can be delivered on a desktop, television, mobile device etc.
- 7. Examples of AR » In televised sporting events real-time analytical information is displayed offering insight into a player, time left, league tables etc.
- 8. AR Student Benefits » Combining the magic of seeing and handling primary sources with leading-edge technology to support research-led teaching. » Surround objects with interpretative and contextual material. » Bridging the gap between tutor-mediated seminars and independent learning. » Using blended learning methodology. » Users retain information when actively involved in a learning experience.
- 9. Mobile Usage » Morgan Stanley forecast that by 2014 mobile internet usage will overtake user access through traditional desktop means.
- 10. SCARLET Content
- 11. Bringing Special Collections to life using AR
- 12. GLUE-ing information to images
- 13. Storyboarding – Phase 1 development » 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. GLUE Object Landing page Webpage
- 14. Content Acquisition Landing Page »Title »Short Description »Audio (Optional) »Video Walkthrough (Optional) »Email (Optional) Web page »Links to associated resources »Short piece of text to accompany links »Images (Optional) »RSS Feeds - Twitter, blog, news etc. (Optional) »Learning/Research Activities
- 15. Overview – Phase 1 workflow GLUE Object Landing page Webpage
- 17. Initial Evaluation objectives » How effective is the AR app in allowing a more direct comparison of the 10 selected objects (Dante) in contrast to previous methods employed? » How does the AR app assist in demonstrating an understanding of the changing media used for textual transmission. » How can feedback be used to inform the next development phase? » Does AR add value to students study and assist with learning outcomes?
- 18. User Journey http://teamscarlet.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/userjourney.png
- 19. User Journey video http://youtu.be/UzI1dtSQ7ac
- 20. Feedback - Positive » 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.
- 21. Feedback - Negative » 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.
- 22. Feedback – Lessons Learned » 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 online support (e.g.VLE). » 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.
- 23. Next Steps
- 24. Next Steps » Develop materials overlaid on the physical resource for other courses (Milton, Ancient Egyptian papyri). » Work with library to promote public engagement. » Investigate funding opportunities in other subject areas. » Disseminate tool kit at project end.
- 26. Project Communication » Project blog at http://teamscarlet.wordpress.com/ where all members of project contribute on all aspects (academic, technology, pedagogy, special collections. » Twitter @team_scarlet » Email: matthew.ramirez@manchester.ac.uk » Publications » CILIP Update magazine (February 2012) » SCONUL Focus (February 2012)
- 27. Thank you
Editor's Notes

- The JISC Observatory report, ‘ Augmented Reality for Smartphones ‘ was paramount in selecting the AR browser the SCARLET project would use to deliver content. At the time(April 2011), there was a proliferation of Augmented Reality browsers available with development API’s such as Layar, Wikitude, Sekai, Google Goggles and Junaio. 14 May 2012

- Users can see and touch real manuscripts/editions while having the security of interactive guided support, allowing users to work at their own pace. Being able to interact with a core medieval text while referencing supplemental materials via visual triggers (e.g. augmented 3D models that overlay the physical image and require user touch gestures to proceed) can spark enthusiasm, confronting the materiality of objects, and preparing them for solo research. AR promotes ‘active’ teaching, maximizing the opportunity for interaction, encouraging critical response and the adoption of new perspectives and positions. This is in opposition to traditional didactic methods that are predominantly teacher led. Users retain a very small amount of the information that is delivered, and a slightly larger percentage of what is shown to them, but when we become actively involved in an experience, learners will remember and retain the majority of the information presented to them. AR can harness both asynchronous (emailing tutor questions) and synchronous (discussion with peers) e-learning methods. Abstract concepts or ideas that might otherwise be difficult for students to comprehend can be presented through an enhanced learning environment offering access to source historical artifacts and online research in situ. The learning curve for new users engaging with mobile AR through browsers is relatively quick enabling the learning/pedagogy to be the driver, not the technology. 14 May 2012
- “ The way children use media through the day is also changing, says the research, suggesting a push-button, on-demand culture, which is moving away from scheduled television programmes.” – Childwise survey, children 7-16 John Herlihy, Google’s VP stated in 2010, the …”desktop has about three years before phones replace it.” 14 May 2012
- For the SCARLET project, I narrowed this down to 10 key ‘objects’, that is, 10 editions of the poem which are particularly important in terms of the publishing and or/intellectual history of the poem, all published between 1472 and 1555. 14 May 2012
- My hope is that the SCARLET app will not only provide a usable way of delivering teaching material, but will actually become part of the wider discussion of text technologies and their effects which is central to the module. 14 May 2012

- 8 Third year students on “ Beyond the Book ” module led by Guyda Armstrong Students had access to iPad2s to use when researching physical editions (Dante) in reading room for two weeks. Focus group was facilitated by member of team recording student reaction and feedback. 14 May 2012
- It was my hope that the images would provide an overview of the process with minimal text to reinforce the user journey. The help document will be employed in the initial user testing and amended (if required) to reflect any feedback that is received. 14 May 2012
