- 1. The UBC Farm Audio Tour: A Case Study In Using Digital Tools to Support Communications Cyprien Lomas & Duncan McHugh LFS Learning Centre
- 2. The Learning Centre • Supports teaching & learning in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems • Priority on finding open source and accessible digital tools • Bringing storytelling skills to LFS
- 3. The Audio Tour • In place to supplement in-person tours • Scripts and some recordings made • Lots of work done by students and interns • Needed to be cleaned up and put on devices • A map and signage were needed as well
- 4. Getting the Audio Tour online • Signage allowed for mobile component • Is this something people would use? • There’s no budget, • how do we do this for free?
- 5. Google Maps • Very easy to use and good online support • Easy to adjust and share • Allows for enriched media • http://goo.gl/maps/NlIvK
- 6. Wikis • Excellent service at UBC • MediaWiki: familiar to many • Easy to scale up • Potential for much more information • http://wiki.ubc.ca/LFS:UBC_Farm_Audio_Tour
- 7. QR Codes • Allows for easy mobile access • Provides analytics on use • http://bitly.com/11cHKUA+
- 8. Scaling up • Better, more durable signs! • Adding video and photos • Adding stations, reworking some audio

Editor's Notes
- Are there ways to take the lesson of digital signage at the UBC Farm and apply them to other projects?
- Projects can be conceived of and implemented with very low overhead – often using off the shelf components. This allows for almost anyone to conceive of and implement a pilot prolject proof of concept.
- It seems that we have so much power to create and implement these days – and perhaps we take it for granted.
- For example, we can use ARIS to create Augmented Reality games.
- How do we help? We provide a safe place and help facilitate: collaboration, brainstorming, training on tools to create proofs of concept. From these proofs of concept we can iterate and improve.
- To help continuous iteration we can make use of analytics and evaluations.
- We don’t know what is next – we are constantly being surprised.. But we want to keep abreast of it. Often thebest ideas come from our students and our constituents.
- The LFS Learning Centre helps facilitate innovation by creating a culture of constituents.
