Museum 2.0 mentions a new service - ExhibitFiles - capturing the “knowledge in transition” that arises from creating and hosting a museum exhibit. Many of our educational projects (designing a course, implementing new technology) have a similar experience…namely that we focus on the end product, and ignore the wealth of knowledge created by those who were involved in the project. How can we better capture the experiences of participants involved in these projects? An article in a journal is fine for summarizing a project, but it misses much of the “softer learning” that occurs due to interactions of individuals involved, problems encountered and so on. ExhibitFiles is one potential approach for capturing those experiences so others can benefit.
