[#musetech thread] It's back to school for me at @GUmuseumstudies, teaching "Museums and New Media" again! On my syllabus / presentation slides for first week: @Gavin_Mallory's "Museums are Experience Factories" blog.cogapp.com/museums-are-ex…
Next up: Great discussion of skills and mindsets required for the next generation of museum professionals in "Musetech: An Ideal Syllabus" by @geealbers @Kcody goo.gl/oK13ba My favorite? ✅ Critical Thinking in the Face of Relentless Change
I also included @ellengamerman's "A look at the museum of the future" because it features some amazing projects but also seriously problematic quotes about digital distraction and overpromises re: tech=draws young/diverse crowds. wsj.com/articles/a-loo…
My favorite project featured in that @WSJ #musetech article is the @ihmec's collaboration with @USCShoahFdn to preserve and present (in interactive holographic video form) the stories of Holocaust survivors.
I'm also excited to show MCN Ignite talk "From punch cards to hashtags: 5 decades of #musetech jobs in 5 minutes." @The_Museum_Guy & @south_waite give a pithy and fun overview of the changes technology has brought to museums and museum workers.
That's it for week 1! Don't want to overwhelm folks. If you found this thread useful, let me know and I'll share highlights from week 2! #musetech

[#musetech syllabus thread: week 8!] Tonight's topic was CROWDSOURCING & PARTICIPATION. We kicked off the readings with @ninaksimon's "Why Participate?" participatorymuseum.org/preface/
"When people can actively participate with cultural institutions, those places become central to cultural and community life." - @ninaksimon See also Chapter 1: Principles of Participation participatorymuseum.org/chapter1/
We also read a guest post on @ninaksimon's blog about the "Oh Snap!" project which involved online and offline participation, including a physical exhibit of visitor-contributed photos surrounding works from the @CarnegieArtMuse collection museumtwo.blogspot.com/2013/03/guest-…

[#musetech syllabus thread: week 6!] This week's readings focused on in-gallery tech. We kicked off the topic with @rosemarybeetle's blog post on what the @V_and_A learned from observing visitors vam.ac.uk/blog/digital-m…
We also investigated @CultureGrrl's critique of @cooperhewitt's Pen, @ClevelandArt's Gallery One, and @MuseumModernArt's Audio+ wsj.com/articles/the-b…
We also delved into the responses @CultureGrrl received from #musetech pros like @SarahatReynolda @donundeen @sebchan @caw_ who largely called for a more nuanced (and inclusive) critique of the role tech can play in museum visits artsjournal.com/culturegrrl/20…

[#musetech syllabus thread: week 5!] This week's theme was digitization and, boy, did we get lucky with a guest lecture by @dzorich! We read the @SIxDIGI's founding 2010 document "Creating a Digital Smithsonian" si.edu/content/pdf/ab…
We also brushed up on @3D_Digi_SI's efforts including the compelling case study of the Cosmic Buddha 3d.si.edu/model/fullscre… Catch up on the background in this Gizmodo piece: gizmodo.com/the-smithsonia…
We also read @nancyproctor's @curatorjournal piece on @googlearts, published shortly after the project's launch in 2011, in which she brilliantly laid out many of the opportunities and fears we are still debating today. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.…

[#musetech syllabus thread: week 4!] This week we explored how museums are opening up collections for re-use and rethinking storytelling in the digital age. Saddle up!

[#musetech syllabus thread: week 3!] This week my "Museums and New Media" class explored online collections. We discussed how to publish *usable* collection information and explored openness as a value in museums.
"Digital Knowledgescapes: Cultural, Theoretical, Practical, and Usage Issues Facing Museum Collection Databases in a Digital Epoch" by Fiona Cameron and Helena Robinson (2007) problematizes traditional museum approaches to documentation in the digital age. …tpress.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.7551/m…
A good quote from Cameron and Robinson's piece to ponder. When we publish from collection management systems straight to the web, are we thinking through the implications of that choice? Are we creating supportive educational spaces online or...? 🤔 The structure and content of online collection documentation has yet to be questioned more rigorously in both the theoretical and user needs contexts. The challenge to create new collection data models for online collections that are capable of transforming collection documentation tools into effective and sustainable knowledge environments remains. One may also ask how changes resulting from this questioning will re
