CONNECTING MUSEUMS WITH EDUCATION
A single destination website should be created, bringing all Cultural Education resources together in one easily accessible place online.
In a digital environment
Henley, Darren (2012), Cultural Education in England Report, DCMS & Dept. for Education<https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/260726/Cultural_Education_report.pdf>
COLLABORATION between teachers and museum education staff. And between collections and education staff within the museum
ENGAGEMENT statistics and measures of success. Justification of investment and effort
LINKING between museum content and curriculum - Ability to create pedagogical descriptions of museum content, linked to curriculum
SHARING of enriched content – Open sharing of content to different audiences on different platforms. Easy export and flexible integration (APIs)
SOMETHING EASY for everyone
WHAT IS NEEDED?
The student – the pupil takes centre stage (learning by stealth)
The teacher – easy access to trusted, reviewed & engaging content
The museum educator – a closer connection to the audience helps ensure content is relevant and used.
The school – an easier way to engage directly with museums
The museum - Feedback and analytics to track goals for engagement. Justify existence, create funding opportunities
Community – successful pupil engagement canhelp reach out through family and friends
WHO CAN BENEFIT?
THE PROBLEMS IN THE PLAN
Lacking digital infrastructure between schools and museums. Museums don’t reach schools efficiently

How can we overcome these problems and increase the use of museum and cultural information as key learning resources for
schools and the community?

Platform not limited to internal access or content creation
Reuse and repurpose of existing museum content
