Someone may find this interesting regarding digital learning initiatives. The Chicago Public Library, Digital Youth Network and the MacArthur Foundation have just launched a new media project for teens called YouMedia. Here is a brief description: "YouMedia is an innovative 5,500 square foot "out-of-school" physical and virtual environment that addresses how youth socialize and learn. YouMedia will engage young adults in literature-based media projects that promote critical thinking, collaboration, and skill building." You can learn more about it at www.digitallearning.macfound.org.

Folks,
The Museums Australia National Conference will be in Melbourne in August next year (2010). The organising committee will soon be asking networks for ideas about topics, sub themes and possible speakers. ENVI (Education Network Victoria) is keen to promote education and learning in the conference and we seeking ideas .
If you know of any good speakers (international or local) or have any burning issues you'd like to see addressed, we are keen to know so we can feed this back to the organising committee. You can contact me at phoban@sovereignhill.com.au or you can reply to this comment.
We can't promise anything but we can try!

I'm looking for examples of in-house online courses and/or orientation for museum workers, especially docents and interpreters. Looking to set-up a self-guided course for docents as an introduction to the content of the museum as well as a place to continue to share and collaborate on exhibit-related research. Does anyone know of examples of such?

Does anyone know of any research done into family or adult learner use of museum websites? Grateful for any suggestions!

As mentioned on my page - have a look at ERGO the new online learning resource set-up by SLV.

While not e-learning as such this is a very interesting site (via Bridget McKenzie's Facebook account!) - FindTheWhy - helping 7-14 year olds tackle the big questions.
