This document summarizes research on using social tagging in museums to improve access to collections. It finds that tagging can provide useful metadata beyond what museums currently have. A system called Steve was developed to support tagging across multiple museums. Research found most tags were useful and different than traditional documentation. The document outlines ongoing research analyzing tag hierarchies and relationships to improve search and discovery of museum objects.

Steve and Social Tagging: Seeing Collections Through Visitors' EyesSteve Project
Brief introduction to Steve: The Museum Social Tagging Project, prepared for the RUSA Presidents' Program at the American Library Association's 2009 annual meeting.
Museums and Big Data — Supporting Exploration, Innovation, and Audience Engag...Robert J. Stein
Today’s museums are awash in data. With so many sources of information available, an organization can be drowning in numbers, but starved for real insight. Robert Stein, former Deputy Director of the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA), will examine how museums can begin to collect and analyze data to illuminate their practice and enhance their impact on visitors. Using a unique visitor loyalty program at the DMA as a case study, he will raise questions about what “big data” in the cultural sector looks like and what insights it might provide.

A keynote for the 2015 We are Museums Conference in Berlin, Germany.
Museums… why should we care? Much has been written about the changes our culture is experiencing as institutions that once held a place of primary esteem have now somehow become less important than they once were. Museums are at the crux of this change and are wondering how we might preserve and bottle the relevance we hold with our audiences. At the same time, we find that relevance to be changing, ephemeral, and eroding.
How should museums answer these fundamental questions about our impact and why we matter at all? When challenged to defend the public investment and trust that we have stewarded for so many years, are we prepared to give a good account?
In this talk, Rob will expand on his seminal article about museum impact, Museums… So What? and will provide new insights and opportunities for museums to look towards to document and demonstrate actual real impact that museums provide and the tangible benefits museums can bring to their communities.
“Museums… so what?” will follow up on his much discussed article from the CODE|WORDS series on Medium.

It seems that today’s museums are awash in data. With so many sources of data available to us, museums can easily feel that they’re drowning in numbers, but starved for real insight. This talk will present practical ways that museums can begin to collect and analyze data to help illuminate their own practice and impact with visitors. Using a unique visitor loyalty program at the Dallas Museum of Art as a case study, this talk will raise questions about what “big data” in the cultural sector really looks like and what insights it might provide to museums.

Desperately Seeking Innovation: Making Connections Between Art and ScienceRobert J. Stein
Growing up, our schools instill a clas- sical distinction between the arts and sciences, and as adults, our professional training continues to reinforce those barriers. Yet as we seek a culture of innovation and creativity, those boundaries between art and science are becoming more and more artificial, and perhaps even detrimental to a comprehensive view of the world that allows for out-of-the-box solutions to this generation’s most pressing issues.
Connecting the Dots: How Digital Methods Become the Glue that Binds Cultural ...Robert J. Stein
The growth and scale of the world’s cities is exploding at an amazing rate. By some counts, the population of cities is growing at nearly 1 million people every week and will top seven billion by the middle of the century. At the same time, popular culture’s fascination with technology, mobile devices, digital media, and social networking seems to pose a significant threat to the appreciation and relevance of cultural heritage in our contemporary society.
Considering these two factors together forces us to ask some concerning questions about what place culture will have in tomorrow’s cities. Are mobile devices killing museum experiences as some have asserted? Does the cultural heritage field’s current fascination with participation and engagement actually endanger cultural appreciation and learning? The answers to these questions have become polarizing in the press and among professionals in museums, but the answer does not need to be either one or the other.
This presentation will suggest a practical and balanced approach to adopting digital platforms and practices in museums that focus the experience on a personal and aesthetic appreciation of cultural heritage. Furthermore, the talk will examine the potential role cultural heritage organizations can play within a city to engage a local audience in common experiences in a manner that can begin to address the social frictions and disparities that exist among the world’s major cities.
Reading the Tea Leaves: Global Trends and Opportunities for Tomorrow's MuseumsRobert J. Stein
A presentation to the 2014 Communicating the Museum conference in Sydney, Australia.
As our society becomes increasingly more intertwined, it is evident that global trends that once seemed remote are having a deep impact on our local communities. These same trends play out in museums around the globe as we reflect our communities both past and present. The museum audience is inherently submerged in this current of cultural change. Without pretending to predict the entire future, there are strong signals that a few important global trends will persist. What are those trends and how can museums begin to take advantage of those likely shifts to promote, advocate, and enhance their relevance to a global audience?
Experience Mining: Understanding Cultural Participation in MuseumsRobert J. Stein
Is it possible to design a platform that can collect information about cultural participation of Museums? How might we design a tool that can help inform our Museum staff about the experiences and cultural consumption of visitors in the Museum. Rather than purely counting attendance as the best measure of Museum success, how might we move towards a behavioral analysis of visitor participation and how might this change museum practice?
Global Cities are growing at an amazing place and are changing the ways in which we live, work, play, and relate to each other. The term Smart Cities describes a movement to apply new technological developments towards the development of these cities, but does doing so create a city that we actually want to live in? This presentation will address the role of culture and artists in creating a dynamic "place" and the role that Museums might play in promoting a cultural dialog within their local communities

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
