Hello,

Am receiving many posts from the list at the moment, containing the line:

"Message was discarded by filter 
'\Newsletters\as17_NEWSLETTERS\updates\Normal' on line 45"


Probably something that the list admin is aware of, dropping a line 
just in case!


Have a good weekend,

[MCN-L] Magnetic Headphone Connectors?

2017-09-07 Thread musedia



Hello,

Has anyone had any experience with magnetic headphone jack connectors 
in museum settings?
Or better still, do you know if there are any brands available on the 
market? (One product being "Mack", though not sure if it's available:

https://cdn.trendhunterstatic.com/thumbs/jack-connector.jpeg)

Am working on a project at a small gallery, where staff want to hand 
out headphones to visitors, rather than have headphones hanging 
inside the exhibition.
We're thinking a magnetic connector could simplify connecting the 
headphones at each audio point, or maybe this actually increases the 
wear on cables etc?

Any pointers welcome!

Best wishes,
Paul Henningsson

[MCN-L] Automatic screen capture on Android

2016-08-16 Thread musedia



Hello,

Has anybody used or know of an app for Android phones, which automatically
captures screenshots at custom intervals and then e-mails away each pic?

Would like to log mobile phone test users, in a field situation..
(the area has mobile/Internet coverage).

Many thanks in advance,
Paul

Re: [MCN-L] AudioGuides

2015-10-19 Thread musedia



Hello Emil,

Very interesting question. I'm interested to hear
about how you arrived at those numbers? What method did you use?

The figures sound a bit low, from a European point of view. There are many
audioguide services available at heritage sites as well as outdoors. And
not all museums inform about audioguide services through their 
websites, unfortunately..


Am also wondering what level of expectancy you were measuring against?
The concept of audioguides is based on selecting points of interest 
to visitors,
to offer highlights of an exhibition or to offer specific themes as 
part of the interpretation.
Very few museums, I would have thought, aspire to put the *total* 
content of objects in an
exhibition into a handheld electronic guide!  (Although in the past, 
audioguides have been described as
"audio labels"!) That is not to say that in some cases, services 
could be improved, regarding the

amount of languages available, accessibilty content etc.

Some of the best productions out there are based on what questions 
the target visitor
groups are asking about the subject/theme/objects in the exhibition, 
as well as observing visitor

flows through an exhibition or site and so on.

Good luck with your research!

Best wishes,
Paul Henningsson

Dear MCNers,

In a last few weeks, I am researching audioguides market, in EU and US. I
found out, less than 10% of the museums ( especially
medium-small ) introduces audioguides service, and even there, it covers
5%-10% of the exhibits. Same situation with a coverage of available
languages.

I am wondering, what are the *real reasons* for such a low penetration. Any
opinion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, all...

I'm trying to compile a list of tech-related acronyms that might be
important for museum staff to know and understand -- or at the very least,
recognize.  Right now, I'm just gathering EVERYthing I can think of -- file
extensions (PDF, JPG), emerging technologies (BLE, NFC), web-related (HTML,
PHP)...

So...

- Are there any that you think are particularly relevant/important?

- What terms do you frequently toss around during museum tech meetings?

- Are there any that are often misunderstood/misinterpreted?

I'd be happy to share my "final" list when I've got it ready...

FIRE AWAY!!

[MCN-L] Evaluation

2012-06-07 Thread musedia


Hello,

Many interesting observations here, typically pointing towards the "lip 
service" problem of evaluation: "There, we've evaluated it..now, let's file 
it away under 'F' as in 'Forgetting'..."

True, some summative reports are simpy one-offs, and rarely cause any 
raised eyebrows.

There's always room for improvement. I wonder if the group will also look 
at how evaluation loops are working, as summative evaluation (even 
"remedial evaluation") should be seen as  part of an evaluation cycle.

In my experience, usually, institutions who use evaluation actively 
(through in-house teams/external consultants or through combinations) are 
ones which practice the full cycle of audience research, i.e. 
baseline-front end-formative-summative and back.
But there are also different aspects to evaluate, not all of them covering 
evaluation of learning.

I also hope this evaluation-of-evaluations project will be promoted to the 
museum evaluation/audience research community, internationally, as it 
covers a very wide field (wherever interpretation activities are present).
In my mind, there's no simple answer to this one...there's no shortcut to 
good evaluation!

Best wishes,
Paul Henningsson

[MCN-L] Launching Safari in kiosk mode on Windows XP

2012-04-04 Thread musedia


Hello Jason,

Am not sure how you have designed your presentation, but
perhaps you could try to create a starting page in HTML which then (after 
loading) automatically launches the page containing your content page in 
full screen mode, via javascript. (The "launch page" would have to be set 
as starting page in Safari's preferences.)
There are several scripts like this online, in web forums etc, it should 
work OK with Safari as well.

Hope this helps,
good luck!

Best wishes,
Paul Henningsson

[MCN-L] Using iPads as stationary display

2011-07-21 Thread musedia


Hello David & list,

Yes, this is an interesting alley to walk down, the compact sized 
touchscreen could mean interesting applications in exhibtion settings.

The City Library of Gothenburg has used them in their exhibition space, I 
wrote a piece about it with pics, please see link below. They made their 
own wooden casing which looked quite neat. But of course have visitors who 
fiddle around with the controls, tampering with it, as the staff were not 
able (yet) to lock the device to only run Safari (their gallery has Wifi).

http://museiteknik.blogsome.com/2011/05/10/ipad-som-fast-utstallningspekskarm/

I would also be interested to hear other examples of using mounted iPads in 
exhibitions,
for interpretive contents and visitor services.

Best wishes,
Paul Henningsson

[MCN-L] Budgets for ICT

2010-12-07 Thread musedia

Hello all,

Am at the moment lecturing at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden,
and got a question from a group of students about how much of museums
operational budgets go into digital technologies (hardwares) - is
there a typical rate in museums today?

I had only my own limited experiences to draw from, but it was an
interesting question. Of course it depends on the type of institution,
but has anyone seen any breakdowns of this, or any "hard facts" about
how investments in ICT has affected museum budgeting of late? Perhaps
compared to, say, 10-20 years ago?

Articles or pointers very much appreciated,

best wishes from snowy Sweden,
Paul Henningsson
