How do collections and objects "speak" to audiences? How can museums present their collections online in ways that can be resourced and sustained at local level? Collections Australia Network national project manager Ingrid Mason used this presentation at the 2009 Museums Australia conference to discuss how museums can bring their collections to life online to engage new audiences.

What are the issues facing communities "being online now"? Sustainability of effort;
continuity of community interest in and investment in online presence; collection
access, use and reuse; attention to past, present and future issues associated with
culture change; old, new and unforeseen audiences; evolving professional practices;
and shifting expectations by all participants. If these issues are all fluid then the crucial factors that need to be allied to "being
online" are exploring, generating, sharing and communicating value as a means of
moving to "living online". How well in a context of such flux does the collecting
sector investigate and articulate the value of being online to its diverse stakeholders,
i.e., the funders, the traditional onsite visitors, the unwitting and geo-spatially out-of- context web surfers, the peers in the collecting sector comprising GLAMs et al, avid e-researchers desperate for digital content to analyse, new media artists wanting to recode, hijack, mash, subvert, squash or fiddle with digital content, kids (of all ages)
wanting to "play with stuff", and the director, etc? If the collecting sector is "being
online" then is there an assumption that the utility value is high, well understood and
managed and can easily progress to a state of "living online" or is there another
perspective of value that needs to be articulated to facilitate this shift from "being
there" to "living there". This presentation takes the history and strategic change in Collections Australia Network as an example of "being online". The 2009 review of its direction, performance and remit ongoing is referenced with a view to investigating what it takes to move from "being online" to "living online".

Is eResearch about the technology? ...space, platforms, hubs and social chang...collectionsaustralia
Collections Australia Network (CAN) [1] is a technological platform for content aggregation, enabling access to well-
structured and organised collection information for the convenience of the research community to retrieve. Content
aggregator services, like CAN, have a role to play beyond providing a technological platform in service of
eResearch. Content aggregation services need to evolve from their current state as technological platforms to active
agents of social change in support of eResearch goals. Content aggregating services operate as a hub, a key player and
broker technically – and socially – in the wider network of contributors. Content aggregating services already operate as
boundary negotiators but it is as incubators and facilitators of change in practice and the discernment of areas for
strategic digital development that these services are in a unique position to contribute to advancing eResearch initiatives.
Museums are moving increasingly to open up their stored collections for access and use by the public. This presentation, part of a series for the UK Museums Association, looks at the organisational and policy challenges and opportunities they are experiencing.

New Service Development Proposal for Athens Archeological MuseumSpyros Langkos
This study concentrates on presenting the development of an idea for a new service for the National Archeological Museum of Athens. The main focus here, is to state how this new proposed service is consistent with the museum brand and in what way it will add value to the customers.
Museum history:
AMA is the first national archaeological museum in Greece and was established by prime minister of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias in Aigina in 1829. Subsequently the archaeological collection was relocated to a number of exhibition places until 1858, when an international architectural competition was announced for the location and the architectural design of the new museum.
The current location was proposed and the construction of the museum's building began in 1866 and was completed in 1889 using funds from the Greek Government, the Greek Archaeological Society and the society of Mycenae. Major benefactors were Eleni Tositsa who donated the land for the building of the museum, and Demetrios and Nikolaos Vernardakis from Saint Petersburg who donated a large amount for the completion of the museum.
The National Archaeological Museum houses some of the most important artifacts from a variety of archaeological locations around Greece from prehistory to late antiquity. It is considered one of the great museums in the world and contains the richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide. It is situated in the Exarcheia area in central Athens between Epirus Street, Bouboulinas Street and Tositsas Street while its entrance is on the Patission Street adjacent to the historical building of the Athens Polytechnic university (AMA website,2012).
In recent years museums have changed from being predominantly custodial institutions to becoming increasingly focused on audience attraction. New emphasis is placed on museum-audience interactions. This change in the purpose and priorities of museums has impacted upon the nature of museum service context and delivery of service products (A.Gilmore, 2002).
This report aims towards the development of a new service offering for the Athens Archeological Museum. Our proposal, is to facilitate innovation and embrace the ongoing trend which is on the rise, to update museums technological standards by introducing services concerning web interconnectivity and interaction of the museum
with it’s visitors.
Traditionally, the prime function of the museum has been to gather, preserve and stuy objects. Our plan is to maintain a data-collection focus.Today’s museum role has been upgrated. They are not only the gatekeepers of heritage and tradition, but have transformed to an active community enforcer. Therefore, in this digital era strengthening museums through information and data-sharing they will be better able to meet both demanding bottomlines of sustainability (financial solvency and mission execution).

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

9. Ingrid Mason, National Project Manager, Collections Australia Network, Museums Australia Conference, Newcastle, 2009 , Online audiences ... matter of learn by doing it and see or do some background research and thinking before leaping in? Be aware of assumptions, anticipate and hope for value-add for current visitors or collection stakeholders/users, but what about the unexpected visitors, e.g., ABC for PHM via Flickr, from genealogists overseas. Models... for online collection access... these should be fit for purpose... and within the bounds of an organisation's capacity and in line with its values and mission or mandate. Note that all of the major speakers have said unlock your collections. How this is done is important, i.e., the impact it has. Be ready to review your approach.
10. Ingrid Mason, National Project Manager, Collections Australia Network, Museums Australia Conference, Newcastle, 2009 , Outcomes ... prepare for impact and continue to be open to it and for work. Having digitised records and digital files of or related to collection objects means an ongoing need to plan for and attend to software and digital assets. Prepare also for surprises in terms of reassessing your audience and their needs, e.g., PHM licencing model for image copying... or need to be open to taking risks, making mistakes and rethinking and reworking. Benefits ... reaffirm the value of collections, by opening them up. Having the significance and/or value of the collection challenged and grappling with new perspectives on what a collection offers and in what context, in this case in the online environment.
