Digital content creation as a means for participatory user involvement in a museum setting

Description

The presentation takes a closer look at a recent attempt to create a participatory learning environment in a museum setting using digital technologies. What happens when users are allowed to publish productions online and onsite? And in what ways do young museum users create, share and reflect? The examples are from a Danish museum of media, with digital exhibits designed to illustrate the constructed nature of media content, but awareness around the actual publishing of content is also an important learning goal. Qualitative research indicates that there are both problems and opportunities in the current design of the digital participatory exhibits, and this presentation will comment on these.
