Nina has written a fantastic book engagement called The Participatory Museum.

I’ve been using these participatory categories to talk about how we’d like users to participate in different projects.

We had debated the prompt structure a bit before the event (I thought "learned" was too leading), but giving visitors the choice of prompts let them share what they wanted without too much guidance. I was surprised by the originality of the content and what people got out of the event. Loved" and "Made" were the most popular.

Which of these descriptions exemplifies participatory museum practice?

I may start with numbers, but the process of collecting anecdotal information or stories in a structured way from your audience/stakeholders can help you generate insights about what those numbers actually mean.

I've seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad).

Gladwell’s assertion that social movements are based on tight ties and online efforts on, say, Facebook, are participatory efforts based on loose ties is simply not true. Gladwell argues that real social change occurs when strong, rather than weak-tie networks, organize hierarchically, rather than in a de-centralized network structure.
