Museum 2.0

In 2009 , students built a participatory exhibit from scratch. Thirteen students produced three projects that layered participatory activities onto an exhibition of artwork from the permanent collection of the Henry Art Gallery. This post shares my reflections on the projects and five things I learned from their work.

I call it my “ To Do, To Done, Don’t Do, Reflection List.” ” I use it for planning and goal setting as well as to reflect along the way. My colleague, Wendy Harman , was also inspired by Chris Brogan’s technique, but she takes it deeper and includes daily reflection questions.

It is always challenge to use participatory techniques when your participants are not native English speakers and you don’t speak the language. I thought I’d share a few quick insights and tips that I learned for others who may be preparing for doing tech training internationally and want to use participatory techniques.

I created this screencast back in September/October of last year, so this release has provided a great opportunity to meta reflect on the whole screencast creation process as well as consider how my views about the use of tagging have evolved. Here are the examples I showed you in the screencast, using the tag ??? For example, I???ve

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. When I decided to write a book about visitor participation in cultural institutions, I knew I'd do it in a way that reflected the values behind the book itself--transparency, inclusion, and meaningful community participation. Check out the other parts here.

In a straightforward way, Marilyn explains how her team developed a participatory project to improve engagement in a gallery with an awkward entry. This is a perfect example of a museum using participation as a design solution. This post appears here in excerpted form; you can read the whole story here. Reassert the "forum"?

This was reflected again in a great encounter I had at the Walter's Art Museum later in the weekend, when a silver-haired, well-coiffed lady (the perfect image of a traditional museum goer) told me "I get so annoyed by how quiet museums are.

The most well-known example is Wikipedia , a user-generated encyclopedia which boasts over 6 million entries written and edited by about 30,000 volunteer participants. My second example is more personal and slightly embarrassing. Do these examples mean you should never use wikis? Here are two cases with related examples.

They demonstrate that the blog is a more participatory vehicle than other kinds of media. There are some blogs that have much higher comment rates than these examples. But I'm not planning to shift all of my writing to this kind of personal self-reflection nor to the hyper-provocative content of the Zombies post. It's awesome.

My initial remix thought (wrong) was to look for examples that were related to agriculture, but the extension is so much more. looking at the ten steps and overlaying these themes in search of examples!

Charlene and Josh relate listening to research, and since they focus on business examples, they are primarily talking about market research: the way a business learns what people think of their brand, their products, and their potential. Here are three examples of changes you could make: Change the language and presentation of comment cards.
