The Problem
Fragmented BrandOutdated PlatformLack of Detailed Data
Who is using our resources?Why are they using them?How are they using them?Where are they using them?How would they prefer to access them?In what format would they prefer them?Are they using them as designed?Are students learning from them…?

Remedial Evaluation of the Materials Distributed at the Smithsonian Institution’s Annual Teachers’ Night (2010)
Literature review and evaluation to produce generalizable guidelines for the design and development of museum-based lesson plans and investigated classroom educator methodologies for incorporating museum-based lessons into classrooms.
Capturing the Voice of Customer, Satisfaction Insight Review of SmithsonianEducation.org (2011)
Collected from more than seven thousand surveys completed by visitors to the central Smithsonian Education website, the makeup of this audience, their motivations for site visitation, their activities while on the website, and their sources of dissatisfaction were explored.
Digital Learning Resources Project (2012)
To assist the Smithsonian to better understand the educational uses of Smithsonian digital resources and provide a road map for future digital development.
Research objectives focused on classroom educators’ ability to identify, analyze, and extract digital content, with the ultimate goal of enabling all users to achieve their own personal learning objectives through the Smithsonian’s resources.
Piloting Tools to Enable Active and Participatory Learning for Middle School Students: Facilitating Digital Learning with Smithsonian Digital Resources (2014)
Classroom educators have indicated that relevance to students’ needs are a top priority. We are now testing directly with students to better understand how they use digital museum assets (specifically digitized collection objects) and to document the types of scaffolds necessary to enable active and participatory learning using them.

• Distracting user interfaces • Unfamiliar terminology and/or lack
of contextual information
Educators’ Preferences for Learning Resources

• Connection to students’ interests• Alignment to teaching standards
and/or relationship to big ideas • Highly Adaptable• Downloadable format
Educators’ Preferences for Platform Content and Functionality
• Content available from more than one one producer/supplier
