Students developed a set of prototype smartphone apps for the Museum of Modern Art, based on a field study of museum visitors. After synthesizing their research findings and developing a set of personas, the students began prototyping and testing their product concepts. Finally, they presented their concepts to a panel of representatives from the Museum of Modern Art. These presentations reflect the research and design methods used throughout the process.

Here is a post to inform you of two conferences that will take place at the end of November and beginning of December, one in London, one in Paris. Both are organised by the Wikimedia Foundation in partnership with arts institutions who will be presenting and discussing their experiences on knowledge sharing and partnerships with Wikimedia in that regard. As structured organisations with a deep sense of hierarchy and copyright protection of their pieces and collections,  arts organisations tend to present themselves as essentially resisting these notions, although avid readers of Museum 2.0, Museum 3.0, and French speaking readers of Mixeum are fully aware that the picture of museums today on these issues is a fragmented one.

Design Lessons from Storytellers Alternative Uses of Storytelling The use of storytelling can be found in team-building, training and marketing. A short story may be used as an introduction, so that everybody starts to adjust their mindset to absorb and reflect the emotions and feelings embedded in the story and what comes next. You may find stories in business presentations, carefully written by content strategists, in advertising and, of course, in copywriting. It is easy to see how words and speech in different contexts can tell stories. We are used to reading and hearing stories, but how can you help tell a story with design?

The Timeline is a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration of the history of art from around the world, as illustrated by the Museum's collection. It is an invaluable reference and research tool for students, educators, scholars, and anyone interested in the study of art history and related subjects. First launched in 2000, the Timeline extends from prehistory to the present day. The Museum's curators, conservators, and educators research and write the Timeline, that continues to expand in scope and depth and reflect the most up-to-date scholarship.

This project presents a collective portrait of workers who keep New York City running. Their stories unfold in a series of multimedia profiles produced by students at the Columbia Journalism School.

The annual UKMW conferences, convened by the Museums Computer Group, have long been the place for high quality presentations and discussions on the matters that are shaping museums online today.

On April 25, 2007 the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto launched a new online initiative called Collection X "This project, which has been in development for six years, represents a huge leap forward for the AGO not only because it makes works from the permanent collection available online but also because it makes it possible for the public to upload their own collections and to create exhibitions using the same application. As it has been conceived, Collection X is meant to function as an open-source museum that features public collections presented alongside collections created by the public."

Success with digital media for museums, education and cultural organisations isn't about scrambling to sign up to the latest fads, those teasmades of technology, and more about attitudes of organisations and the individuals within them. What are the handles we can grab hold of to begin or better develop our journeys into digital media use in the world of exhibition, performances or engagement of new audiences? It tries to make a few points, some more successfully than others, no doubt. Key amongst them:- how to institutions do better what is now so easy for everyman to do?- is there anything to be learned from the world of startups where coming up with a compelling problem that needs solved? What are the problems museums manage to solve? Do they need to think in that way at all?- what potential is there for cultural organisations to open themselves up to new audiences by tackling the same content and ideas in alternative ways and on different platforms?
