Authority is content provider   Authority is platform provider
why?

participation does five things best:
    deliver personal relevance
    celebrate and network
  diverse voices
    deliver dynamic content
    encourage interpersonal
  dialogue
    support collaborative +
  creative practice
                                      Authority is platform provider
why?



To be most satisfying, leisure
should resemble the best
aspects of work:
challenges, skills and
important relationships.
Geoff Godbey, professor of leisure studies
Pennsylvania State University




                                             Authority is platform provider
how?
      what are
      you about?


what will these
relationships look
like?


    what do they
    need?


                     Authority is platform provider
web 2.0 is software
that gets better the more
people use it
       -Tim O’Reilly, technologist and publisher
how can your museum
get better the more
people participate?
an exhibit that gets better the more people use it?
