I have long maintained that this website is a learning resource, my version of what I think online learning should be and look like. It is, of course, mostly my learning resource, but over time it has engaged a community as well. So how well does it succeed? Instead of the usual metrics - how many subscribers, how much does it cost to produce, etc., here's an alternative set:
Address vital and relevant needs/issues within the community.
- Engage a diverse public.
- Act as a catalyst for action.
- Stimulate intergenerational interactions.
- Link existing community groups to one another.
- Initiate or enhance long term collaborative relationships.
- Create partnerships that empower community groups.
- Result in products/processes that have tangible impacts in the community.
I think, overall, that the site fares pretty well against these metrics (Worts, D. "Measuring Museum Meaning: A Critical Assessment Framework." Journal of Museum Education, 31 2006, 41 - 48).
