A quick note about the research project I’m currently involved in – the National Museums Online Learning Project. This involves a consortium of English national museums:

• British Museum
• Imperial War Museum
• Natural History Museum
• National Portrait Gallery
• Royal Amouries Museum
• Sir John Soane’s Museum
• Tate
• Victoria & Albert Museum
• Wallace Collection

working together to develop new ways of getting their digital collections used in schools, and by adult learners. My role is as part of the University of Edinburgh’s research team, evaluating the project (formatively and summatively).
