Science Centres and Museums Websites Sample Clauses

Science Centres and Museums Websites. Many major science centres and museums carry web-based products that tend towards one or other of these extremes, often reflecting the pedagogical perspectives of their originators – curators, educators or web designers (see Appendix 1). Online exhibitions can offer multiple learning paths through material in ways that real exhibitions cannot. The Smithsonian’s Revealing Things (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx), for example, uses Thinkmap® for the provision of a dynamic interface in which the learner has control over content and narrative. Such features permit a large degree of experimentation, by both learner and expert provider (Xxxxxxxx 2003). A focus on the personal meanings and histories of objects is the essential element of a new Culture Online project: Every Object Tells A Story (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxx.xxx). Aiming to encourage visitors (both physical and virtual) to create their own stories and to share their interpretations of hundreds of featured objects, the project offers a rich multimedia menu.

It aims to encourage visitors out into real sites by showcasing activities all over the UK, as well as news and exhibition information. Its database includes over 2,800 museums, galleries and heritage attractions and simple but effective search procedures give access to the museums’ material, by place, date or subject. Internet trails produced in partnership with museums and galleries provide significant opportunities for learning. Show Me (xxx.xxxx.xx.xx) is the children’s version of the 24 Hour Museum and gives access to ‘cool’, ‘crazy’, ‘fun’, ‘scary’ and ‘wild stuff’ from UK museums, some of it developed specially in collaboration with educators and website developers in the museums themselves. (Call it anything but learning, seems to be the message.) The learning opportunities, however, range widely in both subject matter and strategy, as indicated by the examples that are p...
