Hi Jess
I am way behind in my 'fun emails folder' but did you get a suitable person/partner for this opportunity?
In the interests of growing our audience and me recouping some costs my employers are keen for me to do other work outside of the Infirmary Museum.
If you think I can be of any use, please do get in touch.
With best wishes
Mark

Subject: [MCG] User Experience Researcher
Hi All,
In Oxford the museums secured some funding for a small research project The Hidden Museum: Revealing Collections Content in Context.
The project seeks to explore methods for delivering collections-related digital content in a context-specific way that is both innovative from a digital technology perspective, but which is ultimately focussed on unlocking stories about the collections. The project will explore a number of variables including methods of triggering content, the format of the content, methods of semantically linking content to objects. The aim of the project will be to generate insights into the feasibility, usability and impact on visitor experience of combinations of these variables through user testing and prototypes.
A core team from both the museums and the university's IT Services department will be working on the project, but we need additional resource to help with the user testing and evaluation side of the project. We are keen to bring someone onto the team to work flexibly with us, and who can see the project through from start to finish so we can gain the benefit of their insight for the full project, and we need to recruit (or similar) quickly, as we are slated to begin in March.
I was wondering if anyone on the list could point me towards a freelancer or researcher who might be interested in the project? Any other suggestions are of course also welcome.
Thanks and best wishes,
Jess
