Webinar

I just ended the last of four webinars based on the book "Digital Museum - transforming the future now."

I wanted to join the webinar also because I was interested in the format. And I must say it was quite a pleaseant way of being at a seminar, while still enjoying the comforts of my best chair ;-)

A lecture these days is normally a PowerPoint presentation and a voice, and so this was not so different. I guess the major difference was the lack of smalltalk in the coffee-break... networking not being so obvious... but still happening through the chat window. :-)
And my questions were answered :-)

It was also quite nice to get an extended overview over what is happening, particularly on social networking sites and how some museums are using them. For some art museums the use and also the benefits are obvious, but for history and cultural museums there are also ways. Maybe ways that are even more interesting - like this example from Museum of London's "London's Voices" exhibition.
