Abstract:

The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project provides data on the rise of mobile internet, the increasing popularity of handheld devices such as cell phones, tablet computers and e-readers, the emergence of social media, and the move towards augmented realities that can help us identify how those trends are shaping the way content-oriented organizations like museums interact with their audiences now and will need to interact in the future. Because these technologies, and others, are revolutionizing how audiences consume information, and are reshaping the public’s expectations about information access and immersion, concrete knowledge of their penetration and the speed at which they are being adopted is crucial to shaping responsible institutional responses.

Description

Co-chaired by Seb Chan, Powerhouse Museum, Australia and Jane Finnis, Culture24, United Kingdom

It has been a year of mobile experimentation. What did we set out to do and how has it gone? This session is a tease – exposing the range of our endeavors but leaving it to attendees to delve into the papers on their own, later, in order to explore the details.

Abstract:

This workshop is now full.

Is mobile mania just the latest new technology hype, or will it make a lasting impact on how museums engage with audiences and do their business? What new business models are becoming available for mobile products and services, and how are old ones transforming, with the increasing pervasiveness of personal mobile devices among our visitors? This workshop takes the position that, “You don’t need A mobile strategy; you need mobile to be part of THE strategy.”

We’ll look at how to integrate mobile into the museum as distributed network, both in terms of platform and outreach strategy, and in its supporting role for the business of the museum. The workshop leader will draw on over 10 years’ experience developing mobile solutions for museum interpretation and audience engagement, and her recent work heading up mobile strategy and initiatives for the Smithsonian Institution. Participants will be invited to complete a questionnaire about their institutions’ use and goals for mobile initiatives prior to the conference, so that discussion can be focused on their real world needs and applications.
