Overview
Administrators manage the CLIO interactives and provide a provide a decisive cohesion to the project by defining Audiences, organizing Programs and choosing what information is made available to facilitators.
Creating an Interactive Exhibit
Creating an Interactive
An Interactive refers to single instance of a CLIO interactive experience, such as an individual kiosk or web exhibition. For example, we just installed an CLIO Interactive instance in the Local Web Development Environment. Interactives can contain multiple Programs, allowing kiosks to be used in different exhibitions without internet access. Interactives can also have device-specific settings, such as kiosk screen brightness and Facilitator PIN codes.
Creating a Program
A Program is a selection of Activities within the same group, exhibit or educational program. Programs can be used to group Activities for pop-up exhibition tables, rooms, galleries, or just by subject. This allows facilitators to run multiple unrelated pop-up exhibits and programs using the same hardware, without having to connect to the internet or download additional data. Programs are provided as a way to create manageable collections of interactive activities that can be customized based on your institutions needs.
Defining Audiences
Each Program can have custom audiences groups, which are included as a way to help sort activities for predefined demographics. When setting up the kiosk as part of their pop-up exhibit, facilitators have the power to configure which activities they think would best fit their audience and what they’re trying to achieve. As an example, this allows you to create three Slideshow activities about the same topic, but tailor each one for a different audience; one for younger learners, one for middle school children, and one for community audiences where you can expect adults are available to help explain more complex topics.
Adding Multimedia
Each Program contains its own directory to store media, which allows multiple activities within a Program to utilize the same multimedia assets.
Creating an Activity
Activities are created through easily customizable activity templates, called Activity Types. You can make your own, or utilize the ones that are provided. The CLIO web application suite comes pre-installed with seventeen Activity Types that are designed specifically for use in an informal education or exhibit context. These activities are coded and stored as JSON files for use within CLIO, but we provide word processor templates to assist with collaboration during the development and drafting process.
Configuring Facilitator Information
When used as a kiosk for pop-up events, the Facilitation menu can provides facilitators with quick references, such as program information, goals, objectives, and instructions.
Configuring Facilitator Discussions
Facilitator Discussions provide curated topics that can be used to prompt a conversation or answer a question from a participant.
Updating CLIO Exhibit Content
Once you have created an interactive on your Local Web Development Environment, it will need to be installed onto a kiosk or live web server.
