21st Century Learning in Natural History Settings Meeting Wiki

The purpose of the project is to develop, initiate, and disseminate a collaborative and sustained learning research agenda to inform how natural history museums can best use their resources to support our audiences in the 21st Century. A key component of the project was the 21st Century Learning in Natural History Settings Conference, held at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, February 12 - 15, 2012. During the conference, 100 participants from across the US and three international sites engaged in a dynamic process of initiating the development of a Call to Action and Learning Research Agenda to guide natural history museums into the future. This wiki reflects the conference structure: There are major themes, each representing a focus topic for respective working groups during the conference. Each working group has a space on the Wiki. Working group spaces continue to evolve from transcribed conversations to synthesis of key learning research themes and major innovations for moving the field forward. They continue to be open for public and professional comment.
