Mobile in Museums resource web site
George Mason University’s Center for History and New Media has a new resource site on the use of mobile technologies in reaching museum visitors. The site itself is well done, and a great starting place for any cultural organization. As with many of the CHNM projects, their program examples are all open source, based on their wonderful Omeka project. They stress the importance of cross-platform solutions, and the reuse of content in multiple delivery formats (traditional web, mobile, etc.). And lest we forget the audiences, they stress the importance of meaningful engagement. The site encourages museums to experiment with mobile, and provides resources to help them get started.
