The British Museum designed a prototype digital learning tool intended for non-UK English learning students. Our goal was to evaluate the tool on its ability to engage and educate its users through surveys, teacher interviews, and student observation. We also compared the tool to digital resources from other museums in London. We ultimately recommended that the British Museum continue pilot tool research and development, and advised approaches by which the Museum could improve the tool.
