The document discusses visitor surveys and accessibility at St Fagans National History Museum. It notes that most visitors are from the UK and within an hour's drive of the museum. A survey was conducted by VisionSense to understand the needs and wants of disabled visitors and assess accessibility on site. The museum is required by law to make reasonable adjustments to ensure disabled people can access its services, and a judge would determine what is considered reasonable.
Presentation about accessibility for disabled people in Teltow, made by students from Vicco-von Bülow-Gymnasium (Stahnsdorf). Included in the tasks from the Comenius Project "Do you think I'll fit in?".
Mia Ridge previews the conference programme theme "Power to the People". She ponders the implications of the Digital R&D Fund for the Arts finding that Museums are less likely that the rest of the arts sector to report positive impacts from digital, and especially how a venue full of active, skilled and enthusiastic museum digital experts might respond to that finding.

What kind of mobile content is most engaging for museum visitors? And what impact does it have? There is surprisingly little research data on this question. This is a presentation that looks into both of these questions and provides principles for designing audioguide content that really works for visitors.

Norse Platters from Bornais, by Clara Freer & Ian Dennis, Cardiff UniversityEXARC
This paper is based on work by Clara Freer, Ian Dennis, Alan Lane and Niall Sharples on the assemblage from Bornais. Excavated by N. Sharples from 1994 to 2004.
A large settlement located on the machair plain of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides.
Occupation found to spread over five mounds with most mounds contemporary during the Norse period with about 50 – 75 people occupying the site.
It was Occupied from at least 5th century AD through to the 15tb century AD.
Occupation found to spread over five mounds with most mounds contemporary during the Norse period with about 50 – 75 people occupying the site.
Our objectives were:
# Understand the nature of platter production
# Consider manufacturing constraints (including the amount of clay in weight used, the temper, size, styles and different forms found on the Bornais excavations)
# Investigate their use as baking plates, how effective they are and to examine their durability
# Investigate gendered production through an examination of the size of the finger print impressions found on platters from Bornais
# Examine and compare our platters to the ones from Bornais
Growing thatch from ancient spelt: an experiment in mass-production at St Fag...EXARC
Experiments in growing spelt by Steve Burrow (National History Museum, Wales-UK)
Project aims
Rigour
We wanted to thatch our roundhouses with a material that was as close to the original as possible.
Sustainability
Thatching is very expensive, if we can learn how to grow thatch straw ourselves we can save a lot of money
Engagement
We wanted a project to which lots of staff and volunteers could contribute
Experimentation
Growing, harvesting and planting on a large scale involves many unknowns. We wanted to know what they were
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.

16. St Fagans attracts lots and lots of visitors with disabilities
(but are we accessible to them?)

Equality Act (2010)
Provides legal rights for disabled people who want to access places like
St Fagans.
St Fagans is required to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that
a disabled person is not put at a substantial disadvantage when accessing
services.
A disabled person can bring a civil court action if they feel we haven’t anticipated
their needs.
Ultimately a judge in a court of law is the arbiter of what is reasonable.

VisionSense
-Conducted an accessibility survey of our
site
-Asked our disabled visitors what they
wanted from us.
