SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Institute of Museum and Library
Services is the primary source of federal
support for the nation’s libraries and
museums. We advance, support, and
empower America’s museums, libraries,
and related organizations through grant
making, research, and policy
development. Our vision is a nation
where museums and libraries work
together to transform the lives of
individuals and communities. To learn
more, visit www.imls.gov.
Current Actions: The Museums for
Digital Learning (MDL) is a project
funded by the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS) that seeks to
identify and test new ways that
digitized museum collections can be
made available in the form of engaging
digital educational resources via a pilot
digital platform to educators around the
country seeking to engage their students
with all subjects. This two-year project
is being led by the Indianapolis
Museum of Art at Newfields in
collaboration with two museum content
partners—The Field Museum and
History Colorado and a team of K–12
educators. Once the pilot suite of online
products has been created by the project
team, they will be tested in the
classrooms of the ten educational
partners. Testing and validation of the
content contribution approach and
standard templates to the pilot platform
will be conducted with a cohort of up
to ten additional museums of various
sizes and disciplines.
This project aligns with IMLS’s
strategic goal and priorities of building
the digital capacity of the sector. MDL
will catalyze and empower museums to
come together and create a national
model with a shared vision to
thoughtfully assess some of the critical
gaps in the current platforms and digital
access/use models, and then leverage
the power of a shared digital platform to
provide easy-to-access,
interdisciplinary, and dynamic content

from museums in digital format for
educators and students.
The project will benefit the national
education sector by providing a model
for museums to collaborate as a sector
with educators and engaging them not
just as users of museum content and
services, but as co-creators and cofacilitators of student learning; a suite of
curriculum enhancing and studentcentric digital collections-based
educational resources; and an
opportunity to pilot-test and improve
the resources from the formative
evaluation to better meet the needs of
the nation’s learners.
The product and process evaluation of
the MDL project will be completed by
a third party evaluator with experience
in evaluating digital education
platforms produced by the cultural
heritage community. The process
evaluation aspect will assess the overall
planning and implementation of the
collaborative model of MDL between the
partner museums and the educators, as
well as the effectiveness of the training
and ease of content contribution of the
ten additional museums. Much of the
front-end and user experience design of
the MDL platform will be formed
through the collaboration and cocreation process between the
cooperator, lead museum content
partners, and the team of educators. The
product evaluation will assess the ease
of access and educational value of the
collections-based digital education
products for educators and students.
This action is to create the overall
evaluation plan, survey and data
collection instruments and instructions
for the various evaluation techniques to
be used at different points in the
development and implementation of the
MDL pilot initiative for the next two
years.
