Thanks Chuck. This would be interesting. However one scary thought
occurs to me; who IS using the information and resources we're
working so hard to provide. The telecollaboration I'm helping out
with does not use museum content (even my own museum's), but does use
museum methods and languages. So I opted to use museum processes
rather than museum things. When I think about it, the other faculty I
know (mostly digtial media/art types) also do not use museum content
in their teaching.
I don't mean to create a picture of empty "content" lots with no
visitors - because I know that instructors, faculty, teachers, and
students do use our sites, but I'm wondering about the nature of that
use right now. Is it limited to individual research (especially in
college level education)? Or is museum content (or processes) being
integrated more substantially into any curriculae or assignments?
Does anyone on this list have any evidence (and better yet, names :) ?

Rick,
A session on pedagogies involving art and technologies, or for that matter,
any academic specialization involving technologies that use museum and/or
archival data in interesting or novel ways would certainly interest me. I
tried to pull together a session last year on visual anthropology and fell
flat on my face, but I still think it would be interesting to go to a
session made up of (one or more of) our "audience(s)" and find out what they
actually DO with the information we provide.
Chuck

Thanks; I'm blushing. I never thought of this as subject for a
session! Something about pedagogies involving art and technologies?
(I have thought of doing this again, but using our museum
collections). Hm. I do know some other art/digital faculty I could
invite - but then again I invited them last time and they failed to
show :( Anyway, it turns out that I'm going to teach digital media at
UC Berkeley this summer in the Art dept. and maybe ongoing, just part
time, in addition to the museum, so this project really fired up some
energy! Thanks for forwarding it :)
