The Open Science Resources consortium invites all Ecsite members and other interested people to participate in the free interactive workshop that will take place in Dortmund on June 2nd 2010 in the pre-conference programme of the Ecsite Annual Conference.
The workshop, organised within the OpenScienceResources project (http://www.openscienceresources.eu) will focus on the use of digital resources and digitally-enhanced learning tools for science centres and museums. During the OSR workshop, the e-KNOWNET project will be presented. The program is available here
The workshop presents new ways to engage on-site and on-line visitors to science centres and museums through the use of digital resources. The Open Science Resources (OSR) portal, developed with the support of the European Commission, offers a way of collecting and organising high quality digital content that is available in European science centre and museum repositories. Attractive educational pathways connect resources to create meaningful experiences, PDA devices will provide a link with the visitor’s physical experience in the science centre and social tagging state-of-the-art tools provide a unique opportunity for engagement.
Workshop participants will discuss their experiences with digital content and exchange views with the partners form the Open Science Resources project, led by Ecsite. Participants will also learn how the OSR portal can be used in their own science centres and museums as a way to engage visitors from afar and enhance their on-site experience.
