An expert panel of peer reviewers critiques recent digital and cross-platform projects, evaluating their accessibility and offering solutions that can be adopted by others.

An expert panel of peer reviewers including Catherine Devine (American Museum of Natural History) and Shelley Mannion (British Museum) led by Sandy Goldberg (SG Scripts) critique recent mobile projects. The Mobile Crit is a conversation between the presenter (whose site is the topic of discussion), the panelists, and those in the session. We have 90 minutes in which to review 4 mobile projects (approx. 20 minutes each). For each project:

• the site representative will present the project briefly (max. 3 minutes) highlighting the mission, the challenges, what they think is successful and what less successful, and any particular issues on which they’d like feedback.

• the 3 panelists will respond with their reactions and questions and suggestions for the representative (3 minutes each)

• we open up the discussion to the group in the room (7 minutes)

Panelists include Jon Alexander from the New Citizenship Project; Gamynne Guillotte, Director of Interpretation and Public Engagement at the Baltimore Museum of Art; Tanner Blackman, Do Art Foundation, and Lucy Bernholz, Senior Research Scholar at Stanford University’s Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society and Director of the Digital Civil Society Lab.
