Do you write or prepare content for online courses? Being aware of the readability of text destined for online students is an important consideration when writing and sourcing readings for online courses.

An old colleague and member of a group I belong to posted this. I think it is brilliant to see museum stuff online. She wrote: Amazing how they have integrated the online and physical exhibitions, included multimedia to good effect, and software such as a 'page turner' to allow users to page through Mary Shelley's original hand written pages of Frankenstein. They have embedded social media (facebook, twitter tags etc), and performance measuring software such as Google Analytics. There was a central core team of 6 staff members in Oxford, they used outside companies for the web design and development, as well as user testing in two phases. It took about 5.5 months to create the online exhibition and cost around £30 000 - not bad considering its sophistication and the extent of materials that had to be digitised.
