“I’m in Chicago with my family, visiting a museum. She highlights a poor one immediately in the first paragraph:Ī Poor Participatory Design: An Anonymous Chicago Museum She brings up the fact that sometimes museums want to just create any participatory activity or application, yet can run afoul by making a poorly-designed participatory experience. Of course, some of these chapters are length (45+ pages), so she also offers the option to purchase the book.
I couldn’t believe what excellent advice and information was jam-packed in just one chapter. In this write-up, I’ve sprinkled numerous quotes from Nina Simon because they are so good and they speak for themselves. I focused on reading Chapter 1: Principles of Participation. She practiced what she preached about participation: “So when people contributed, I always felt that they were helping me, supporting the project, sharing an insight or critique for me to use.” She writes on her Museum 2.0 blog how she wrote this book on a public wiki (reminds me of our use of the wiki in class), how she vetted public editors, though she found most participants were only involved during the formative parts of the book. Nina Simon’s The Participatory Museum is an incredible resource, another jewel provided in our Museum Informatics course.
