The JISC-funded SCARLET project (2011-12) was led by the Learning and Teaching team at Mimas, a national centre of expertise at The University of Manchester. SCARLET is an acronym for Special Collections using Augmented Reality (AR) to Enhance Learning and Teaching. Following on immediately after the JISC-funded SCARLET project, SCARLET+ (2012-13) built upon its successes in order to pilot AR with two other UK universities. Working with staff from Special Collections at the University of Sussex and the Crafts Study Centre at the University for the Creative Arts, the project’s aim was to both embed the knowledge and skills needed to use AR, and to test and refine the SCARLET toolkit.
