ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates new ways in which archive knowledge can be acquired by the general public and how to leverage a dynamic and exciting exchange between users and information within a brand new platform. The ongoing goal of Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) University Library is to continuously promote its services, improve access to its available scientific resources and allow the public to use the library facilities as needed. Mubil-Lab was established in 2012 by NTNU University Library in Trondheim in order to develop open access digital educational workshops and applications using innovative technology. Mubil started as an experiment where old books would be enriched with stories, narratives and knowledge from the past, with the use of 3D models and multimedia content, to trigger curiosity and create an immersive learning environment. Mubil provides evidence that virtual environments can support experiential learning, because it involves active participation and the engagement of innate knowledge.
