For THATCamp, I would like to see a session focused on online exhibitions as interpretational mediums for engagement, education and interpretation with audiences inside of and outside of museums. It would be great to hear from anyone who has experience and or an interest in exhibitions, audiences and online learning.
I would be happy to have co-facilitators if any other campers are interested in this topic.

Thanks for this, Casey! I’d like to add to this proposal to include outreach and assessment of online exhibitions. What does engagement look like in an online exhibition “virtual” space and how can impact be measured?
That is fantastic, Stephanie! I’d love to co-facilitate this with you. Measuring impact is an area that I am not an expert in, but is extremely important.
