[MCN-L] The role, challenges & future of Mobile Interpretation

[Loic Tallon]

A quick email to draw your attention to an online survey into the use,
challenges + future of mobile interpretation in museums.  See
http://tr.im/ALUg

'Thank you' to all those that have taken the survey already.  Since
its launch a couple of weeks ago we've had over 100 responses from
museums around the world.

The survey was developed together with Learning Times - hosts of the
2009 Handheld Conference Online last June - and explores:
1. why museums use (or don’t use) handheld guides
2. the challenges relating to their use
3. how they saw the medium’s future
4. and how to improve knowledge share in this field

At a time when mobile interpretation is an increasingly ‘hot-topic’
for museums, and with the medium is becoming evermore
powerful/ubiquitous, we're hopeful the community will find the
findings timely and valuable.  We'll be publishing these online,
alongside the raw survey data.

If you’ve not taken the survey yet, it would be fantastic if you could
please find 10 minutes to do so.
The survey is for all museums, whether you use handheld guides and/or
are interested in doing so or not.  And obviously, the more responses
we get, the more interesting the results.

The survey is online at http://tr.im/ALUg

Thank you, and we look forward to sharing the results later in the year!
