Call for Papers Call for papers open - closes midday 10 April 2017 - full details. Save the date: 16 June 2017, Museum of Natural History, Delegate fee £50 (free for speakers, discounted rate for DLNET members). Oxford University Museums Partnership is pleased to be partnering with the Digital Learning Network (DLNET) to deliver this summer conference.

This one day conference will be devoted to digital learning in museums, with a particular focus on ‘formal learning’ (schools, FE, HE). The day aims to share insights and lessons from current work happening across the sector, but also discuss bigger questions around the role of digital in terms of learning strategies and sustainability. We would like to invite submissions from colleagues working in museums or cultural organisations to share digital learning experiences they have developed, discuss the process of developing or adopting tools, share insights and lessons learned, and discuss the role of digital in their learning strategies. Papers could focus on: Examples of learning experiences with a digital element currently being delivered and reflections on the impact of digital within museum learning programmes; Developing, adopting or adapting digital tools for learning, sharing thoughts on areas such as user needs research, content and technical development, usability testing, piloting and awareness raising, evaluation, future proofing and strategic thinking; Sharing lessons and insights that will be useful to colleagues working across the sector such as insights into user needs, what you would (and wouldn’t) do next time on a project, unexpected issues (and triumphs), etc. We are requesting session papers of approximately 20 minutes, but we are also interested in proposals for interactive sessions in a different format. We are also inviting proposals for a lightning talk session (PechaKucha style).

Vamos compartilhar. Culture is not what enters the eyes and ears,  but what modifies the way of looking and hearing.
