Content Strategy has been all the rage recently in the UX world and I was excited to see this topic make its way into the nonprofit space. So often, when we work with nonprofits to redesign their websites, content is an afterthought. See this great guest post on Katya’s Non-Profit Marketing Blog. Sound familiar?

It is really hard to maintain a balance of interaction and content delivery when you have 90 minutes and four people with subject-matter expertise. Our session was really about “train the trainer” which requires going beyond mere content delivery and do what I call “going meta.” The Feng Shui of Good Teaching.

Thirteen students produced three projects that layered participatory activities onto an exhibition of artwork from the permanent collection of the Henry Art Gallery. The guiding principle is uncovering relationships between the works of art themselves rather than explicating information or theoretical concepts.

Some questions I don't know the answers to: What are the best examples of nonprofits using social media to crowdsource advice, program evaluation, ideas, or other uses?

Originally posted in April of 2011, just before I hung up my consulting hat for my current job at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. Are there certain kinds of institutions that are more well-suited for participatory techniques than others? Where do you see the biggest resistance to incorporating participatory techniques?

In the past year, I've seen the conversation shift to talking about impact and sustainability of these projects--how we evaluate audience participation and how we can shift from experimental pilots to more day-to-day implementation. Are there certain kinds of institutions that are more well-suited for participatory techniques than others?

I love Trevor Donnell's brilliant book and blog, Marketing the Arts to Death , in which he documents the disasters caused by our inability to be audience- and data-driven in our marketing efforts. Program staff invent guerrilla marketing techniques, run the photobooths and program evaluations, and send out the follow-up emails.

I'd say that these techniques support audience development, repeat visitation, membership, maybe could even attract new kinds of donors. We try to design every new program with a partner organization with an audience for whom that kind of content or format is already appealing. but I didn't have numbers to back it up.

In some cases, that's based on subject matter, as at the Museum of Jurassic Technology or the American Visionary Art Museum. Other institutions are idiosyncratic in their relationship to their environment, like the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, or to their community, like the Wing Luke Asian Museum.

There are experts in every industry, from books to film to art, and they have an important voice in the selection and presentation of content. To evaluate this, you have to consider whether your visitors are Web 2.0 critics"--people interested in judging content. Do visitors really want to review museums and collections?

No one would contest the idea that most museum exhibitions, art shows, films, books, in short, most content experiences, have value both for the new and return user. There’s no expectation that the content will have evolved in your absence; instead, the user evolves, and brings new meaning-making to the content experience.

It was good opportunity for me to look back at the crowdsourcing chapter in our book, The Networked Nonprofit , and update the examples and thinking. The presentation was followed by a discussion about how one might evaluate efforts to engage crowds. What do you track? What domains of impact should be considered (e.g. 2) Crowd Creation.

This is not to say that science centers are more censored than art or history museums—every kind of museum has its own hang-ups. Imagine an art museum that allowed patrons to bang on the exhibits the way you can in a science center. So how do we evaluate and make decisions about self-censorship? Why do homeless people smell bad?”
