Informal learning: The design and development of an exhibition

• In Event: Emerging perspectives on design

Short Description

Learning occurs in a variety of ways; some are more formal, directly addressing the learning process such as classrooms and online classes. Others are less formal, including self-directed learning and the educational experience of exhibitions. This presentation will describe the development an exhibition in an academic museum setting. The process included conceptual development, selection of exhibition elements, arrangement of the materials, making of didactic written materials and organizing the flow and interaction of the exhibition.
