[#musetech syllabus thread: week 4!] This week we explored how museums are opening up collections for re-use and rethinking storytelling in the digital age. Saddle up!
& Jane Burton offer a primer on the history of the "online exhibition" (and its unfortunate second-class, second-thought status) in this @museweb paper: mw2013.museumsandtheweb.com/paper/online-e… 
's presentation of @ExploreWellcome's long-form immersive story "Mindcraft" asks us to think about how to do SLOW in a fast, snackable online world theguardian.com/culture-profes…
Of course we had to look at the amazing interactive documentary "Jheronimus Bosch, the Garden of Earthly Delights"... do NOT miss "Diabolical bird on potty chair" (right panel, middle) tuinderlusten-jheronimusbosch.ntr.nl/en#
We also dug into @Gavin_Mallory's backgrounder on the @Still_Museum's clever implementation of @iiif_io to encourage #slowlooking blog.cogapp.com/deeper-more-me…
We were honored to host @NMAAHC's Jessica Johnson, who showed us how the museum's world class #musesocial team is using Twitter, FB Live, Insta, Snapchat and more to share stories through multiple lenses and connect people's concerns today with the history that came before.
Check out "Many Lenses" nmaahc.si.edu/explore/manyle… or #SmithsonianCypher twitter.com/i/moments/9264… for great examples of @NMAAHC's multi-platform, perfect-for-digital storytelling prowess
Switching gears a bit, we took a deeper dive into the potential of openness and collaboration when it comes to museum collections and data. Love this piece on the #LODLAM led by @sosarasays and others hyperallergic.com/180422/smithso…
tells it like it is when she makes it clear why museums must have a stake in improving (and using) Wikipedia content. medium.com/digital-moma/b…
And, finally, Olivia Vane explores how we "make sense" of history using "interactive diagrams" derived from a collection API as part of her fellowship at @cooperhewitt labs.cooperhewitt.org/2017/exploring…
That's a wrap for week 4! I'd love to know what digital storytelling formats you're loving or to hear about the inspiring #openGLAM projects you're seeing that open up opportunities for new discoveries within (and uses of) our collections.
