Dear colleagues, apologies if you tried to link to the questionnaire
below. It was accidentally closed off, but Ive reopened it so if you
have built learning activities into your Museum web site, Im interested
to hear your views. Was it important for you to be able to demonstrate
the effectiveness of your designs? Did you test the designs during
development, and/or after they were completed? Are you willing to share
some of your experiences? I am writing a paper for Museums and the Web
2007 that explores how we can predict what learning is likely to result
from particular web site designs and how important it is to do so. My
thesis is that we need to formatively test designs during development to
ensure they deliver what they are supposed to, and this applies as much
to learning activities as to any other part of the site. We cannot test
if we don't know what the design is intended to achieve. So if Im right
then specifying learning outcomes is essential when we are designing
websites that encourage and support learning. But I could be wrong
which is why I'm keen to hear from you.
To make it easier for you to reply there is a small questionnaire at
http://146.227.82.82:8080/opinio/s?s=102 It's only 10 questions and
most of them have multiple choice answers.
Many thanks for your help, Stephen
