We're in the process of training our docents to use ipads on their gallery tours. So far, it's been gradual - training small groups for temporary exhibition tours and for our lunchtime spotlight tours. Currently staff is working with these groups to determine a relatively small number of digital assets, and staff is also loading/managing that content on the ipads.
We're looking to scale up our program - bringing all 140+ docents into the ipad fold - and are looking for ways to efficiently manage content. I have two questions:
- Do docents at your institution determine the content they'll include on their ipads/tours? Or is it something that staff determines, or helps determine with docent input?
- For content management, has anyone had success with a particular system or platform? Ideally, docents would be able to self-serve, accessing video clips, images, etc. themselves, rather than having to consult with staff every time they are selecting digital assets for their tours.
Thanks!
