My style of teaching is participatory; I don’t lecture with PPT endlessly and involve the audience. I believe that interactive training makes for better learning and there is research to back that up. The workshop had seating in a U-shape, so people did not have a desk to write on and I had some worksheet exercises for people to do.

Many exhibit developers create thoughtful interactives intended for all ages and then discover that old familiar pattern--kids engaging while parents stand back and watch. It's possible--likely even--that today's adults are more motivated by interactive experiences than generations past. And herein lies the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Designing A Participatory Hook for a Virtual Meeting. Flickr Image by Derek Gavey. In a face-to-face training, I might do an exercise with sticky notes where I get participants to write down answers to a question or two related to the content on sticky notes. Design must comes first. A meeting hook does the same thing.

It's not topic-specific; I've done these exercises with art, history, science, and children's museums to useful effect. This isn't surprising: when the term "social object" was coined in the online environment , the whole point was that people socialize around specific objects, images, or ideas, not general topics or interests.

Most of my work contracts involve a conversation that goes something like this: "We want to find ways to make our institution more participatory and lively." Audience development is not an exercise in concentric circles. We want to cultivate a more diverse audience, especially younger people, and we want to do it authentically."

I've written before about techniques for talking to strangers, looking at how buttons , buses , and dogs and can all be tools for participatory design. I used that instruction recently to kick off a meeting at a museum planning a participatory education space. This makes the interaction feel "safe" for both parties.
