MW2001 featured a variety of interactions that enabled
attendees to learn from the concrete experiences of other museums, and
harness the critical faculties of their peers. Mini-Workshops
were one hour sessions designed to introduce tools, methods, or techniques
for museum web sites. In the "Crit Rooms", a group
of professionals reviewed museum web sites in "real time". Participants
learned new techniques for looking at web sites and saw what other professionals
thought were the good and bad aspects of web design. Mini-Workshops have long been favorite sessions
because they provide in-depth and sometimes hands-on, learning. These
one hour pedagogically-oriented presentations introduced tools, methods,
and techniques, highlighting their use at particular museums. Crit Rooms Steve Dietz, Herminia Din, Mike Ellis, USA Hampshire Museum Service, UK Yakima Valley Museum

Back by popular demand! In the "Crit Rooms", web designers,
information architects, and site evaluators critiqued the web sites of
conference volunteers. These sessions provided an opportunity to discover
what other professionals value in web designs and to learn how group critique
can be used in-house to improve any web site.
