Thanks for sharing your innovation roadmap, @nrstewart! I am a fan of the Assassin’s Creed series and didn’t know about these discovery tours. What a neat idea to allow patrons to “experience” these cultural landmarks and histories without having to pay for expensive airplane tickets. I’ll definitely be poking around on the Ubisoft site when I’m finished with the course!
Hi @nrstewart this is a lovely roadmap you brought up. I love games in general and played Assassin’s Creed in the past. Making use of discovery tours and ubisoft’s site is an amazing way to help people gain an interest in history. I have a friend/classmate in my previous history major experience who works for a gaming company to help produce historical accuracy for the games. It’s a neat way to drive in what we need and have it for free for anyone who can’t make it to any exhibition. I am also working on my inspiration report with virtual reality tours in the museums. I haven’t heard about discovery tours. Awesome to learn about this!
Like Katelyn, I’d never heard of this either. What a great option to offer for inclusive learning. Why do some insist it has to be boring and one size fits all? Your report was succinct, yet informative. Thanks for bringing this the Ubisoft site to my attention. I now want to steal, I mean borrow your idea.
This looks so fun! As someone who loves video games, I can imagine so many patrons getting excited for this. I was really good at english and math but absolutely hated history. I never found traditional textbooks engaging enough. Humans learn so much faster when they are doing it in a way that they enjoy. I love how you discuss this need for methods other than traditional learning styles. People learn in many different ways and it is important to meet people where they are and with something that they will be able to enjoy. Thank you for sharing, Nicholas!
I’m relatively young but still old enough to remember LAN parties at the library and this reminds me of a similar idea. Adding this immersive experience would present a different and unique way to engage with the library. Good idea.
For my Symposium assignment, I decided to create a custom Jeopardy board, being a huge fan of the game show myself. Hope it’s not too difficult for you all! Link: https://jeopardylabs.com/play/the-hyperlinked-library-virtual-symposium
Ever since I was young, I have always enjoyed learning new things. Whether it was something I had learned from school or something I had learned from one of the many books I read, it Read more
