Abstract
Increasingly the museum is becoming a portable experience that engages our audiences in a range of networked environments beyond the Museum’s walls and website: from YouTube to iTunes, from Wikipedia to iPhone Aps. This trend is nowhere so evident as in the cross-platform landscape of mobile interpretation in museums. This course takes as its premise that portability means first and foremost mobility, and in this spirit aims to establish approaches and best practices in mobile experience design that will in fact support the full range of media engaged in museum interpretation, including fixed and analog platforms as well as mobile.
