Apologies for cross-postings
MCG members may be interested in the following project information - and
hopefully able to offer advice as requested below...
AIM EdWeb Project.
Earlier this year AIM, the Association of Independent Museums, received
funding from Resource (then MGC) and the Carnegie UK Trust, to work with a
number of independent museums across the UK to make existing educational
resources available online. The objectives of this project are not only to
make these resources available, but also to demonstrate the contribution
that the independent museum community can make to the National Grid for
Learning, as well as to develop and share the skills acquired in doing so,
with other museums.
The project started at the beginning of June and will make available
project management, design, education and technical skills to up to 12
museums. The final list of participants is being finalised, but will
include four museums from north-east Wales, a number of Suffolk museums and
others from Yorkshire, the Midlands and East Anglia. The resources will go
live in December and it is also intended to produce guidelines for museums
intending to pursue similar work.
As project manager I would be particularly interested to hear from any
museums who have 'reversioned' existing paper-based educational resources
for online delivery - information about good practice or pitfalls alike
would be gratefully received. In association with the Learning Circuit it
is hoped to launch an online brainstorm on the subject of 'what makes a
good online education resource?' - more details to follow.
On a personal note I realise that since my departure from the Science
Museum last month there may be some friends and colleagues who don't have
my new contact details which are at the bottom of this email.
Many thanks
Alice
