There's Something Happening Here, What It Is Ain't Exactly Clear
Creator	Haley Goldman, K.;Wadman, M.
Subject	DCCF - Summative evaluation; Impact evaluation; User behaviour
Description	In an attempt to establish what users actually learn from a virtual museum, this paper discusses the facts about the museum on-line experience: What are the basics of the on-line museum experience (the who, what, with whom, and how sorts of questions)? Whom do we know we reach? What do they tend to do? How does this compare with the other virtual experiences people are having? This was achieved through an in-depth overview of the literature, drawing on sources both in the virtual museum field and in related fields. This paper also takes a brief look at the relationship between the physical and the virtual sites. The authors investigate current literature but also report the results of interviews with museum professionals on their thoughts and insights about the relationship between their virtual and physical museums.
