Systematic Literature Review on Interaction Design used for Museum Learning

Bohlmeijer, M.W. (2024)

Museums bear the responsibility of collecting and communicating knowledge to their visitors, and in recent decades, the emergence of interaction design has proved to be a valuable means of communication. This literature review explores the current state of interaction design in relation to museum learning, focusing on its demonstrated benefits for engagement and learning outcomes. The results show that engagement is essential in elevating the quality of museum learning, as it reinforces the acquired information to the visitor. Emphasizing the influence of learning domains and contexts on design patterns, the review advocates tailoring design elements to align with specific learning domains and contexts to enhance the effectiveness of museum learning. Future research directions underscore the importance of intuitiveness and adaptability in design, which is crucial for ensuring usability across diverse museum settings. Additionally, a focus on technological aspects is recommended to foster broader applicability and reproducibility of interaction design used for museum learning.
