I was invited to lead a workshop at The MCG/DLNET Conference about engaging audiences digitally, on a budget. It was fun. http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/2012/02/24/working-together-to-engage-digital-audiences/

1. Engaging audiences
digitally on a budget;
Or, how to muck about on the internet and
make friends.

2. MAKING HUMAN THINGS
using machines.

3. DESIGNING EXPERIENCES FOR
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURES
for people, not algorithms.

4. TWO WAYS TO NOT
ENGAGE PEOPLE ON
A BUDGET, DIGITALLY.

5. Pr o T ips!
ONE
SPEND LOADS OF MONEY*
*preferably on proprietary software and CMS

6. Pr o T ips!
TWO
PUT ALL THE EFFORT
INTO YOUR WEBSITE
(hint: it’s about what people are already doing)

7. THINK ABOUT WHAT
YOU ARE USING
and how it affects the people
who are interacting with it.

8. “We weren’t achieving anything that
way, so we nipped it in the bud and
slowed everything down. It’s one of the
reasons we introduced the tweezers.
Not because they’re more delicate than the
human touch – they aren’t – but it slows
you down and keeps you calm.”
- Chef Andoni Aduriz, Mugaritz.

CONSIDER IF YOU
WANT TO ENGAGE

BUDGET, DIGITALLY.

Ideally, it would be useful.

12. Quest ions!

13. QR CODES ARE
NOT THE ANSWER
and augmented reality
doesn’t mean greater.
