The five key problems facing providers of digital content (museums, universities, hospitals etc.) within the public sector. Related work undertaken by the UK's Strategic Content Alliance
Moving from downloads to uploads: Toward an understanding of the curricular i...Darren Milligan
Full paper available: http://mw2016.museumsandtheweb.com/paper/moving-from-downloads-to-uploads-understanding-curricular-implications-of-access-to-large-scale-digitized-museum-collections-on-the-professional-practice-of-k-12-classroom-educators/
The need for museum strategy to be audience driven is now directed and enabled (in an accelerated way) by digital technologies. This allows, or requires, museums to understand the intersection between the needs of those it hopes to serve and the capacity of its own organization to meet them: to provide customized experiences and opportunities to unique audience groups. Educators are one of museums' historically most-valued audiences. Opportunities to have greater impact with teachers, their students, and the learning experiences they create, are great—greater than in the past, when museums focused on adult programming, school visitation, and exhibition-centered lesson plans. These new opportunities lie primarily in the utilization of museum collections and resources within the classroom, where the teacher can make use of them in ways that fit naturally into the learning process they have already developed for their students. To enable this, as we should, museums need to understand this group and how they use digital assets to design and deliver learning experiences. This study looks towards the development of a reusable framework for addressing this need through an understanding of the evolving role of the museum in the education space, the process and knowledge bases required for teachers to be designers of learning resources, and finally the ways that technology itself (in this case, primarily the Web) changes the nature of teaching and learning. The framework proposed is used to develop a survey instrument that is then tested through a case study of an emergent digital platform for teachers, the Smithsonian Learning Lab.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

18. User Feedback I love the site and my students love using it - only today I had Year 13 group using it to research particular forms of writing for our own war wiki on our VLE. A couple of my students became totally addicted to deciphering Vera Brittain's handwriting and finding out what was next in her letter to Leighton and downloaded the letter to take home! Go and explore The First World War Digital Poetry Archive and The Great War Archive, both based at the University of Oxford. Go even if you don’t care about the First World War, just to revel in the high quality of the thought that has gone into creating such a wonderful resource. Go to have a look at the more than 6500 artefacts submitted by members of the public which are all now freely accessible and searchable. This is the thing that has made me happiest this week. Natalie Usher, Teacher Dan Todman, Historian The students I demonstrated the Archive to, in a lecture in February, were very interested in it. Most students seem to find online material far more appealing than printed material, but the content of web sites is often less than academic. It's very good to be able to refer to students to a web site of such quality from a sound academic source. Andrea Peterson, Lecturer

Editor's Notes
Make additional primary source material available Collections of manuscripts from the great war are traditionally dispersed across many locations and institutions - poetry generally sent to various people in letters who have donated them to different archives or are held in private collections Web is being seen more and more as a communication medium first and a content delivery system second - harness the potential of web 2.0
To be able to support and enhance university teaching with ICTs we must first find out how academics are currently teaching their subjects, and why they teach in certain ways. To be able to embed technology successfully within teaching and learning we must understand how teachers' experience and perceive teaching, learning, ICTs, and the mesh of factors that motivate them to adopt, or not to adopt technology.

Do academics want to use Web 2.0 technologies? It is pointless asking them, you have to show them the possibilities of academic application via prototyping. Our approach has shown that yes they do.
