ARTyFACTS: Designing an online learning environment for art objects - John Cook, Claire Bradley, Peter Oriogun, Kathleen Henderson and Anne Baker
Abstract: This paper describes work that has the goal of developing an Internet-based learning environment for enabling the remote engagement with art objects. Our aim was to provide a multisensory experience, incorporating information, sound, media, images, data and hyperlinks relating to art objects, in order to provide a richer sense of the artifact to remote users. To help us achieve our goal we have employed software engineering techniques and developed the Customisable Multisensory toolkit (CM toolkit), an authoring system for creating environments. The paper describes the design considerations for the learning environment, the selection of technologies and system design of the CM toolkit. We then describe the prototype learning environment that was created using the toolkit, 'ARTyFACTS'. This prototype was evaluated with 2 groups of users, and the results of this evaluation is presented and discussed. We conclude the paper by outlining areas for further development work, and some of the considerable challenges that remain if we are to develop full multisensory systems for remote learning and engagement with art objects.
