Hopefully you will hear/have heard back from people at Museum of London, V&A, Herbert Gallery, Tate and others …
I think it may be one of DLNET’s conferences you refer to below. I am sure you are already aware of the Digital Learning Network (DLNET) but just in case:
The website has just been redeveloped and at the moment there is only one past event listed, but if you want more details about a specific past event let me know. The next DLNET event is a joint event with the Museums Computer Group in Manchester on 11 July 2012 and the programme is just being developed at the moment.
I would be interested in seeing a summary of responses to your enquiry – maybe you are
sending one to the list?
Best wishes
Martin

Subject: Digital engagement + evaluation with Secondary schools
I know lots of you have been genning up on digital engagement in the past couple of years. Could I pick GEM's brains as follows?
1. Do any of you have / know of really good practice that blends e-learning / digital learning with school workshops at Secondary level. This could be before / during or after the museum visit / workshop.
I'm specifically looking for innovative examples or those with evidenced impact (it's a given things like downloadable resource packs / worksheets and access to images will be available)
2. Do you have / know of good practice in evaluating the impact of such e-learning facilities either which work alongside workshops; or support self-directed visits
(I'm sure there was a big evaluation conference or something like that a year or so ago about digital engagement and learning - anyone recall that and could add anything helpful from there?)
Or your own experiences, reports etc?
Please feel free to send me your reports, links to articles, websites, informal responses off the top of your head, examples of things you saw / encountered in other venues and were blown away by etc
And of course do feel free to say if you want your responses kept anonymous, confidential, off the record - all the usual...
