Actually, lots of people!<\/p>\r\n In an effort to get staff excited about digital technology, the Digital team at Imperial War Museums launched Computer Club in 2013. The museum-wide initiative aims to develop digital awareness and raise skills, but in a relaxed, friendly and non-training-like environment.\u00a0<\/b>Since its introduction, the response has been really positive, with participation from all levels of staff, including directors, and there has been a genuine enthusiasm from everyone to come along and have a go. Sessions have included an intro to Twitter, making a movie trailer on an iPad and playing computer games. The outcomes have been surprising, frustrating and eye-opening.<\/p>\r\n For the Digital Media department, the Club is an important part of a wider digital strategy that includes ways to increase the confidence and digital capability of staff so they are able to embed digital instinctively in their work. It raises the profile of the department and provides an opportunity for the team to develop their facilitation and leadership skills with staff from across the museum and at different levels.<\/p>\r\n This practical workshop, led by Carolyn Royston and Simon Delafond from the IWM Digital Media department, is about how you can set up and run a Computer Club in your organisation, regardless of size or type of institution. We will explore what a \u2018Computer Club\u2019 might look like in your organisation and how it can fit into a wider digital strategy. We\u2019ll do some practical activities that will take you through the process of how to set up a Club, design sessions, work out resource requirements, promote and run a session, and evaluate its success.\u00a0And (most importantly) there will be specially designed MW Computer Club stickers for everyone who participates!<\/p>\r\n Come along prepared to share your thoughts, ideas and suggestions \u2013 remember: the first rule of Computer Club is talking about Computer Club!<\/p>\r\n Areas of focus include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n How to design a Computer Club session<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t Ways of managing resources to deliver a session - both hardware\/software and people<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t Participating in a Computer Club session as part of the workshop<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t Internal advocacy and how to effectively promote a Computer Club in your institution<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t Ways to measure and evaluate success<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t How to make Computer Club part of your job<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n By the end of this workshop you will be ready to go back to your organisation armed with ideas for sessions generated by you and your peers, an understanding of the practicalities and realities of running a programme like Computer Club in a museum setting and hopefully the confidence and enthusiasm to give it a go.<\/p>\r\n Participants that would benefit from this workshop are those looking to start similar programs in their institutions, that are interested in raising digital awareness and capability, and building advocacy for digital in your organisation.<\/p>","paper_id":"","paper_title":"","paper_url":"","author":[{"author_url":"http:\/\/www.museumsandtheweb.com\/member\/croyston","author_firstname":"Carolyn","author_lastname":"Royston","author_institution":"Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum","author_image":"www.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ca1514f215a6fc9fdb1bf6ddfd9c9823?s=200","author_country":"United States","author_bio":"Across a 20-year career in museums, Carolyn has worked with cultural organisations to transform the way they use digital technologies to effect change.

With burgeoning investments in these new exhibitions involving advanced display technologies and content production processes, understanding the visitor experience is vital for stakeholders who must balance financial considerations alongside their quest to deliver meaningful, challenging and educative content. However, research into how these new experiences are received and understood by the public remains underdeveloped, bound largely to traditional techniques and quantitatvie data analysis. In response to the need for new evaluation tools, this workshop will describe an interactive interface and data visualization strategy for visitors to participate in describing their experience. I Sho U will significantly advance traditional visitor studies by providing: tactile interfaces, real-time upload of visitor responses, automatic data analysis and, real-time visualization of aggregated data.\r\nThe context for the research undertaken is The Applied Laboratory for Interactive Visuzalization and Embodiment; City University of Hong Kong, at the forefront of developing groundbreaking immersive exhibitions that advance participatory experiences with cultural data working in collaboration with design research at Swinburne University. I Sho U is an interface that could transform visitor evaluation, with implications for how we design, manage and invest in our museums.\r\nWe will present three case studies from museum installations and workshop with you the needs of your museum!\r\n\r\n How would someone interact with your organization if they were passing their time on the bus? What would be the impact on their mobile experience if they were in the wilderness or sitting in your caf\u00e9? How could you meet the needs of visitors with very small children or only those who are motivated by aesthetics?<\/p>\r\n This half-day workshop will focus on the context for mobile museum experiences, reimagining \u00a0mobile beyond the conventional audio\/multimedia guide.<\/p>\r\n Background<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Under the umbrella of our Mobile Experiences : Cultural Audiences initiative, Frankly, Green + Webb produced a workshop to support cultural organizations in the design of user-centered mobile experiences. The day was hosted at the British Museum and included practitioners from more than 20 UK museums. We will run a similar workshop for the MW2014 audience.<\/p>\r\n The importance of context has been described in both theoretical museum models of learning (Falk 2009) and incorporated into practical design principles by the UK government (https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/designprinciples)<\/p>\r\n We believe context is one important way to incorporate the richness and diversity of the visitor experience in our design process. Our workshop will enable participants to apply the \u201ccontextual model of learning\u201d theory that Falk describes.<\/p>\r\n Workshop Overview<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n The workshop will be held at a Baltimore-area museum.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t Working in small groups, attendees will be introduced to the idea of context as a tool for designing mobile experiences and participate in discussion on how physical, situational and social context shape our own experiences using mobile devices.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t Participants will be invited to complete facilitated activities in the galleries that focus on observations of visitor behaviors and they will reflect on these experiences to develop themes and stories.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t We will introduce a game using a pack of specially-designed visitor context cards that describe a range of motivations and situations.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t The groups will use the cards to quickly create, iterate and refine a number of ideas and use the cards to test these ideas in multiple contexts.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t Finally, the group will map the ecosystem of the service design (accounting for the touchpoints of the new service: how will visitors learn about it?

This workshop is a - hopefully - gentle introduction for those who are new to Linked Open Data.\u00a0 It will be a mix of lecture and hands-on experimentation.\r\n\r\nI. What is Linked Open Data?\r\nA. History and definitions\r\nB. Why it's important\r\nC. Linked data principles - the five star rating\r\n\r\nII.\u00a0 What is RDF?\r\nA. What is a URI and why is it important?\r\n- creating 'cool URIs'\r\nB. What is a triple?\r\n- subjects, predicates and objects\r\n- context\r\nC. How is RDF represented? (formats)\r\n- rdfxml, turtle, n3, n-triples, JSON-LD\r\n\r\nIII. Using existing datasets\r\nA. Linked Data map\r\nB. Some common large repositories: DBPedia, Freebase, Geonames etc.\r\nC. An introduction to SPARQL\r\n- building basic SPARQL queries\r\nD. Examples of mashups and apps\r\n\r\nIV. Vocabularies and Ontologies\r\nA. Making the distinction between vocabularies and ontologies\r\n- when to use one over another\r\nB. Common vocabularies\r\n- Dublin Core, TGM etc.\r\nC. Common Ontologies\r\n- CIDOC CRM, LIDO etc.\r\nD. Complications\r\n- too many standards or not enough standards\r\n\r\nV. Publishing Linked Open Data\r\nA. The four rules for publishing linked open data\r\nB. Using existing URIs, vocabularies and ontologies\r\nC. Building your own vocabularies and ontologies\r\n- when to build your own vs. using existing\r\n- using supporting standards: SKOS, RDFS, and OWL\r\n\r\nVI. Some Common Tools\r\nA. RDF parsing tools\r\nB. RDFizers\r\nC. An overview of RDF storage engines\r\n- triple stores vs. quad stores\r\n- existing stores: Sesame, 4Store, D2RQ etc.\r\n\r\nVII.\u00a0 Summary, Questions, and Wrap-up\r\n\r\nTOTAL TIME: 3 hours","paper_id":"","paper_title":"","paper_url":"","author":[{"author_url":"http:\/\/www.museumsandtheweb.com\/member\/dhenry","author_firstname":"David","author_lastname":"Henry","author_institution":"Missouri History Museum","author_image":"www.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a2887ce663af4f3fdb8f3f3cb8d2b925?s=200","author_country":"USA","author_bio":"Web Development is my third career.

Participants can book for the second part on its own.\r\n\r\nThis first part of this ever popular and intensive MW workshop looks in detail at best practices for web analytics using Google Analytics and a range of other tools. Participants will learn how to bake in analytics when designing and building digital projects, and how to ensure that useful reports are able to be generated and insights learned. Expect to spend time examining your own institution's web statistics and come to new understandings that will affect how you change and adjust your content, UX and UI, as well as your marketing and content strategy efforts.\r\n\r\nIn the second part Seb and Brian will look at some of the most significant new changes to Google Analytics. Released gradually over the course of the 2013\/2014, Google is dramatically altering the landscape of what the new tools are capable of. Changes range from the simple revamping of common reports and availability of \"galleries\" of advanced segments and custom reports, to the dramatically improved ability to gather demographic information, to the revolutionary prospects of Universal Analytics. This new flavor of Google Analytics, with the ability to import data from other media - even media campaigns taking place offline -- promises to transform Google Analytics from the world's most popular web analytics program, to (as Google's Justin Cutroni puts it) \"an analytics platform for business, not just a single digital channel\". We will cover migration to Universal Analytics and other topics in detail.\r\n\r\nSeb Chan has been teaching this workshop each year at MW since 2009 and has run similar workshops across the globe.

While some may be experiments and are valuable for the experience they offer or the capacity they build within an institution, others create collections of content, dynamic websites, or other resources that are intended to continue well beyond their initial creation. As these projects and resources continue, their creators often face the challenge of identifying financial and non-financial resources that will permit them to maintain their value over time.\r\n\r\nThis half-day workshop will introduce project leaders to the basics of sustainability planning, help them to establish ambitious but realistic sustainability goals, define the challenges they face, and sketch out a plan to achieve them. The workshop will be led by Nancy L. Maron, Program Director at Ithaka S+R and\u00a0 Sarah Pickle, Analyst and will include group participation and will share real-world examples, illustrated by case studies of projects that really worked \u2026or didn\u2019t. The session will introduce participants to the \u201cSustainability Planning Tool\u201d a tool designed by Ithaka S+R to help guide those leading digital resource projects in choosing and testing the strategies that will work best for them.\r\n\r\nFor the past several years, the team at Ithaka S+R has been studying how project leaders develop successful sustainability plans, learning from hundreds of individuals from around the world who are managing resources. They have spoken with us about the difficulties they face in building their projects and in finding ongoing support for the activities they feel need to be sustained after an initial infusion of money for creation.\r\n\r\nWe hope that by introducing some new ideas and practical tools in a supportive and engaging setting, this workshop will encourage project leaders at museums and other cultural heritage institutions in developing and testing new ideas to support their work.\r\n\r\nIthaka S+R is a not-for-profit research, training, and consulting service that has been studying the sustainability of digital resources for several years. We have recently concluded two studies on the sustainability of digital resources in museums, libraries, and academia: Sustaining Our Digital Future: Institutional Strategies for Digital Content<\/i> (2013), funded by Jisc in the UK; and Collections without Borders: Sustaining Digital Content at Cultural Institutions<\/i> (forthcoming 2013), funded by the Canadian Heritage Information Network. Other recent reports on the topic include Revenue, Recession, Reliance: Revising the Case Studies in Sustainability <\/i>(2011); Funding for Sustainability: How Funders\u2019 Practices Influence the Future of Digital Resources <\/i>(2011); Sustaining Digital Resources: An On-the-Ground View of Projects Today <\/i>(2009).
