Helping museums make content re-usable; helping programmers access museum content -- This is a site for sharing, discussing, arguing (nicely) over and hopefully coming to some common agreements on APIs and data schemas for museum collections in the UK or worldwide.
Enhanced Ebook University was created to provide background, perspective, and grounding for what we believe will be pretty widespread ebook creation efforts in the months to come. The White Paper and the webinars we will produce are not intended to teach the technology; they are our attempt to think creatively and substantively about how to apply technology to create more appealing and useful ebooks—and how to know whether or not you’re succeeding in that attempt.

WordPress 3.0 finally gives us a ton of goodness out of the box for custom content types (post types in WP parlance). There’s a few extra things that I also wanted, and I keep adding new things. I have no intention to turn this into a plugin - only folks comfortable with a bit of code need apply.

Inside the Marketers Studio - David Berkowitz's Marketing Blog: 100 Ways to Measure Social Media
If there's anyone out there left who says you can't measure social media, here are a hundred answers. At most of the events I've been to lately, measurement continues to be a hot topic. The first question that comes up is, "What can I measure?" That's where this cheat sheet can come in handy: a list of 100 thought-starters. Some entries here can be interpreted several ways. Depending on how you define them, some of these metrics may seem redundant, while others may seem so broad that they can be broken out further. Many of these can be combined with each other to create new metrics that can then be tracked over time. It's a start, though, so dive in and consider which ones may apply to programs you're working on.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is pleased to offer visitors several new ways to enhance their understanding of and appreciation for works of art in its collection, and to connect with and share their experiences with others. All of these endeavors simply represent additional ways for the Museum to further the mission that has guided it since 1870: "…encouraging and developing the study of the fine arts, and the application of arts to manufacture and practical life, of advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects, and, to that end, of furnishing popular instruction."
We have things we know are indefensibly wrong and our instinct is to try and fix them and correct them. There are things that we hate that we don't necessarily have to hate, from Paris Hilton to Tea Partiers to Powerpoint. Anil teaches us some principles to put into play when we think someone is wrong and indefensible, so we can learn to have empathy for the people we think are indefensible.
We have a simple (but not easy) mission: Revolutionize education. Our goal is to create a platform to allow live learning to take place over the Internet anytime from anywhere. Most importantly...for anyone. We're the first people (that we know of) to create something that's totally open and community-driven (rather than closed and transaction-driven). We're excited to create tools for people to teach and learn what they love in ways they never imagined possible. If changing the world is your thing and you're as passionate about education and learning as we are, please get in touch!
Tips for using Foursquare to promote your museum «
I have been playing with the location based game Foursquare over the past week, in preparation for talking about how Museums can use mobile technology. Foursquare is a location-based game which describes itself as being ‘All about helping you find new ways to explore the city, discovering new places, doing new things and meeting new people.’ Foursquare basically lets you leave tips for friends and strangers in your favorite places, when someone else comes to that place, they can read the tips that you have left through Foursquare on their mobile phone.
History Channel Launches Foursquare Campaign and a New Badge
America might be one of the youngest geopolitical nations around, but we’ve still got some interesting history to discover. Thanks to a partnership between Foursquare and the History Channel, some Foursquare users will learn a lot more about the history of their checkin locations over the next couple of months. When users check in around various U.S. cities, they can find historical tidbits about their location and unlock the limited edition History Channel badge (pictured on the right). “For example,” reads a release from the History Channel, “users in New York who check in to St. Paul’s Chapel will discover George Washington worshipped there on his Inauguration in 1789, and users in Los Angeles who check in at the Cinerama Dome will find out it opened in 1963 with the premiere of ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’ and that it’s the world’s only concrete geodesic dome.”

Foursquare is taking off like gangbusters, and it’s got me excited about combining social media with actual social interactions. Last week, Rafael Gallegos of New York Theatre Workshop asked me, “We have foursquare checkins, but I’d really like to run a deal for the mayors but don’t know how to begin. any thoughts?” So here’s what I would do.

Over the summer, our department made a small but significant policy change. We decided to take a cue from Google’s 20% time philosophy and spend one day a week working on a Walker-related project of our choosing. Essentially, we wanted to embark on quicke
Participating in the Bazaar: Sharing Code in the Digital Humanities ...
In The Cathedral and the Bazaar, Eric Raymond argues that open source software development works more like a bazaar than a cathedral, where openness and community are prized over hierarchy and secrecy. I’d like to talk about how developing open source code has made me a better practitioner of digital humanities, and why more digital humanities (DH) scholars and projects should be participating on the open-source bazaar. I would argue that, right now, the digital humanities is getting really good at shopping/browsing at the bazaar, but not actually sharing. We seem to have no problem using open source tools and applications, but very rarely are we actually giving back, or making the development and sharing of open source code a central part of our work.

o why did we spend so much time talking about the one or two things that blocked a couple blue sky projects, instead of hacking the existing course schedule and offerings? Why didn’t faculty just change what they teach, and convince others to do the same? There’s really only two problems higher ed has. One is that many faculty don’t see the need for change. The second problem is that faculty that want to change often think they don’t have the skills or power to do so. I’m particularly good at convincing faculty of the need to change. And I think I’m also pretty good at helping faculty who want to change what they do, and letting them know — hey, you can actually do this, and I’ll show you how. My colleagues in CELT are similarly skilled.
