Hi Anita,
I think your question ('how easy is it to produce these materials') is
very timely.
The technology to create interactives is now available (see
www.heritage4schools.org for an example of how teachers could quickly
build interactives based on museum and art gallery content). I think
we need two other things:
-- the learning objectives and desired outcomes is a question only you
and others on this group thinking about pedagogic issues can can
provide, and
-- graphic design input if you want a 'polished' product (which most
good designers could provide) eg
http://www.gunpowderplot.parliament.uk/adults_timeline.htm for an
example of a timeline.
There's a set of further questions about whether the results constitute
learning objects and if so how they are managed.

Hi Anita
The main body of resources have been created by museum education staff
in consultation with teachers. The CMS is very easy to use and no one
has had a problem using it.
The interactives up so far have been created by designers, although we
are working with MWR to create templates that we as museum educators can
populate with different content, so in theory we can get round the
expense and technical knowledge needed to create particular types of
interactives.

Thank you to people who made suggestions to me. I thought my
software was up to date, but it clearly wasnt. Now all is working.
Great stuff!
Would someone like to comment on what skills one needs in order
to create this? In other words, how highly technical would it seem to a
teacher - even to do some simple moving parts? Locating marvellous
resources on the web is wonderful and useful, but many teacher would
love to do their own. Or, do you think it would be simpler, cheaper,
safer, and equally satisfying to engage someone to do it [given the pros
of getting it done perhaps much better, vs the difficulties in
explaining what one really needs?

These look fascinating; I was looking for something like this to
show other developers. But unfortunately the only one that really works
they way it promises is the art one where you build up a face. I cant
imagine this would be the fault of my computer. I havent got time to go
into details of all of them, but the enterprise one does nothing but
show the picture of Gott; the bugs one tells you that you'll get
information about each body when you move the mouse over it, but you
dont. I did give the system time to download.
Perhaps this was a busy time
?

Hi,
i work for a small local authority museum in north
london and we are
looking to develop some interesting online resources for
children as part
of our boroughs Childrens Observatory. I would be
interested to see what
other museums have done. Could anyone recommnend any
websites that i could
look at. Im thinking about informal learning here not
directly related to
school.
Thanking you in advance for your help.
Best wishes
