Museum 3

what will the museum of the future be like?

Today we begin an adventure. I'm taking on board Mal's idea of "touring the web", building on Nina's work about how much time does Web 2.0 take and my own reflections in my paper Museum 3.0, organisational change and informal learning by starting Project AMEP.

The Australian Museum Eureka Prizes (AMEP) are Australia's premier science awards. This year we are trialling taking AMEP to the web. This afternoon we will set up our Facebook fan page and Flickr channel and then start spreading the word. At the AMEP finalists announcement function on 24th July I will attempt to get vox pops and fotos which I will upload startight away to the Fan page/Flickr, and we can then use Facebook to start feeding stories in the lead up to the dinner and prize giving ceremony on 19 August.

At the same time I will be putting my money where my mouth is and seeing:
* how much time does Web 2.0 actually take compared with Nina's model
* how we can put in systems to move these projects to the mainstream and make them sustainable through training and commitment of the AMEP staff
* whether people do join up (which is one thing) but then do they actually interact with the site.


Keep you all posted.

Brett - do you know how we install the extended information app from Facebook to our fan page plz?

OK - we sorted out the Extended Info page thingy. What now?

* Kristin will join up to FB and add some fotos
* Ruth will update the Information pages - Ruth I reckon you could use the same kind of feed info things you've already got on the AMEP site?? Be curious to see what you decide to add
* Lynda will add logo, any images she has to hand and videos
* we will all log the amount of time we have spent on this (so far today a 1 hour meeting and me uploading stuff at home for 1.5 hours (timed while watching Neighbours and Big Brother) - I had to reformat the science is... video and then upload it which took the time

Come and be a fan of Australian Museum Eureka Prizes and watch our progress...

Lynda, this is so great! I can't wait to hear how it goes. My experience is that the startup time is much more than the maintenance time... good luck putting it all together!

Thnx Nina. So far 13 Fans, mostly friends of friends + some people I emailed separately. Ruth will be sending out the e-newsletter soon with details of this group so we'll see what happens and how many people join up.

I plan to add a short note later this week (5 minutes max time i reckon for that as it is a cut and paste from another document). So far as you say, the set up took a bit of time but maintenance time is minimal.

Content: 22 fans, now mostly seems to be viral (and not just mine and Ruth's friends!); 4 notes PS I note that Bryan Gaensler, a former Young Australian of the year and high science achiever is a fan, as is one of the finlaists for this year - that's exciting!
We have an event tonite which Vanessa and I are attempting to do something with so watch this space tomorrow to see how we went...
