Hi Martin,
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but ImaginationLancaster and the Peter Scott Gallery, Lancaster University received funding to produce an app called Taking the Artwork home.
Part of the Peter Scott Gallery collection has been digitised and can be accessed through the app.
The app enables users to view the collection outside the gallery via their android screens.
However, what's interesting is the app uses Mobile Augmented Reality and users are able to view the artworks as if they were part of their immediate environment.
Existing posters, artworks, signs can be replaced digitally with a PSG collection item.
More info here.

The app is available to download if you wanted to have a go.
Hope this helps,
Caroline

> Hello

> Can you suggest any recent or particularly good examples of the topic below (posed by MA students) for a short session on Wednesday?
>
>
> What are the ways in which digital technology in museums and galleries is being used creatively for classroom learning either prior to or after a visit... Gallery visits always seem somehow separate from what is happening in the classroom?
>
>
> The point about visits seeming separate from the classroom experience is a useful observation. I would emphasise 'effectively' rather than 'creatively' - a point for discussion in itself, perhaps.
>
> I'll post a summary of responses to the list; if you don't want to be quoted, please let me know when you email.
