DigitalCitizenship.net cites nine individual elements of digital citizenship: access, commerce, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights & responsibilities, health & wellness, and security (self protection). Cultural institutions are doing well in some respects, but what about other areas? Could museum interactive experiences not only provide access to rich content, but also help increase the overall digital literacy of users? Can our digital projects travel parallel paths in pursuit of both curatorial mission and digital good? Should they?
Guests:
Darin Barney, Canada Research Chair in Technology & Citizenship, McGill University
Kyle Jaebker, Director IMA Lab, Indianapolis Museum of Art
Luis Marcelo Mendes, Communications Consultant for Museums, Fundação Roberto Marinho
