Create interactive activities for your blog-based lessons and then embed them within pre-recorded facilitation videos. 

Host CLIO over the internet and provide public access to prototypes to gather community Feedback. 

Design discrete interactives to reinforce educational outcomes and display them in a gallery alongside your collection. 

Embed activities into a live digital broadcast to demonstrate key concepts. 

Leverage digital interactives to bolster your online exhibits and demonstrate necessary context. 

Bring kiosks on the road and pop-up an interactive experience for your audience, tailored on-the-fly by trained Facilitators.

Share interactive activities in your video stream and send web links for synchronous participation. 

Host CLIO over the internet and set-up a temporary kiosk on any computer with a mouse and web browser, or provide access during development testing.

This microcomputer is about the size of a deck of cards and offers the same technologies as a conventional computer at a fraction of the cost. 

They are excellent for running CLIO and powering interactive exhibits.  The Raspberry Pi provides unparalled extensibility through add-on modules created and maintained by a vibrant open community.

Computer operating systems comes in many flavors, but most Linux distributions share a similar open ethos.

Global communities contribute to this open technology, creating an expansive web of human expression and technological connection.

Fused Filament Fabrication, or FFF, is an open-source 3D printing technology that fuses plastic filaments to create objects by stacking hundreds of thin layers. 

This technique works perfectly for prototyping interactives, printing the POP kiosk, and creating props for use within an exhibit.

CLIO is based on open web technologies that have continued maturing since the early days of the internet.

HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and PHP provide a wide range of power tools to developers while still being accessible to those looking to learn.

Python is an accessible programming language that provides powerful ways to control open hardware.

CLIO combines JavaScript, PHP and Python to create a framework for controlling the Raspberry Pi as well as external hardware – such as lights and motors – through an interactive interface.

This activity displays topic cards that can be flipped to view a brief description, or opened to look at a longer rich text description. 

This activity type plays a video. 

This inquiry-based learning activity can be used to highlight a collection of images and provide a prompt so that the user can learn more about the things they find most interesting. 

This activity type presents a gallery of images to the user and a series of questions. Using the images, they will answer to the best of their ability and, when there have been enough questions asked to reach a conclusion, they will be presented with their answer versus the correct answer based on their responses. 

This activity can be used to compare, contrast or overlay one image over another, allowing a user to interactively decide how much of each image they would like to see. You can also add ‘Look Closer’ buttons to highlight specific areas of the image. If you only need basic image annotation to highlight a specimen or a point on a map, and not a full comparison, the Annotated Image activity type may be more applicable.
