Dear Tim,
A project called myartspace is about to be launched at three Museum and Gallery sites across the country - Urbis in Manchester, The Study Gallery in Poole and the D-Day Museum in Portsmouth. The concept was created by The Sea, a London based company and is funded by Culture Online.
It is a m-learning project, where pupils will use handsets as they are going round the different sites and collect information about objects/ art work/ buildings - thus creating their own learning journeys. The idea is that they comment on each item collected, giving a reason as to why they have collected it - through text, sound or images.
As the collections are made, they are stored on a central server, which becomes like a virtual notebook - they can either leave it there or do more work in the classroom to augment their collections, publishing a gallery on the website - either privately to friends or to the public.
The general public will also be able to use the service, using their own mobile 'phones.
If you are interested in finding out more see www.the-sea.com or if you are interested from a particular museum's point of view, I'd be happy to go over the project in relation to the D-Day Museum.
Kind regards
Bryony

Tim,
There's a project going live in November which will enable children to
take their own pictures, add simple interactivity, and save the results
as flash interactives. The interactives - rather like mini-projects -
will be uploaded and form part of a national competition. Its actually
about science (and not UK based) but you can see the possibilities for
digital museum content, and the idea was developed in a UK museum
context. Let me know if want to know more about the project, or I can
send you the URL when it launches (I ought to make it clear to list
people that I have an interest in the software used for this project).
Andy

I am very interested to learn of any museum e-learning projects either
currently available or under development in which a significant portion
of content is generated by users themselves (rather than by museum
staff).
