Broadband Enabled Activities for Museums (BEAM)
BEAM is a pilot project funded by the Lancashire Digital Development Agency to enhance school visits to museums.
This project uses broadband technologies to enhance school visits to museums. It provides pupils with experience of the potential of broadband technologies. An additional feature of the project is to explore the community and tourism potential of these technologies.
Portable Webcam technology will be used in museums to allow the audiences above to remotely and virtually explore the museum from home or school, prior to and after museums visit.
During a physical museum visit, individuals will use a range of digital devices, such as digital cameras, to carry out further learning activities and to record their experiences of the visit. This rich media data will then be streamed back to schools or related locations with the potential for further personalised learning that will reinforce their experience of the visit, promoting reflection and enhancing their learning experience.
