current possibilities

just before this course started i had already began to explore how i could use some of the web 2.0 technologies to exploit the museum's online visitors to form groups of specialist interest. so what the course has given thus far is a frame work for this to happen now.

the important part of what is missing from the museum's online presence is a greater interaction from it's online visitors. so using some the strategies described in the course and its reading list i will be able to run a pilot project so that members of the museum's online public will be encouraged to create their own exhibition. so i know many of the things that we have discussed already will be raised again but this time it will include a museum focus.

This sounds really interesting - do keep us up to date on your museum online interactive plans. Look for an opportunity to incorporate something you can use when you do the group work?

Interactivity is a goal I share but a process that seems resource intensive. Using the web as a teaching/lerning tool/medium is no less, but significantly different, in its eating up of time and resources.
