Want to share your science museum education-related research, evaluation and
resources with interested others around the world?
List your ongoing research and evaluation in MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM),
my monthly e-newsletter. I welcome listings by workers at all sites of
informal learning (museums, galleries, historic sites, science centres,
parks, etc.), consultants, faculty, and students at all levels of study. To
assist these research efforts, I continue to offer a free introductory
one-year subscription to any student in a museum education-related course or
program. Visit http://www.mccastle.com/Public/MEM.aspx for details.
(I've also instituted a complimentary one-year subscription for any museum
educator who is currently unwaged. Contact me at [log in to unmask] for
details.)
To share your ongoing research and evaluation, just send an e-mail to
[log in to unmask] that includes:
- name of project
- research or evaluation question(s) [no more than 50 words, please]
- how the data will be presented
