See below for details of an upcoming workshop in London on how to use surveys for impact evaluation, which will be relevant to people wanting to evaluate online or offline museum impacts: methodsforchange.org<http://methodsforchange.org/>
Aside from the workshop, I have an open access commentary just published on using technology for audience evaluation that may be of interest to some on this list:
'Evaluating impact and quality of experience in the 21st century: using technology to narrow the gap between science communication research and practice’
