Testing the Impact of a Computer Guide on Visitor Learning Behaviors at an Interactive Exhibit
There is a recognized need to rigorously examine the efficacy of approaches to supporting informal learning. In this study, we used a 2 × 2 factorial experimental design to test the impact of a computer guide on 3 proximal measures of visitor learning at an interactive math exhibit. In total, 128 families were systematically assigned to engage with the exhibit either with or without access to a supplementary computer kiosk. Visitor groups with ac…
Neighbourhood Renewal and Government by Community
This article reviews the expectations associated with wired community schemes – efforts to bridge the digital divide and promote social cohesion within neighbourhood renewal programmes. Such initiatives exemplify the strengths and limits of neo‐liberal modes of government through community. They use community consultation and participation within a managerial technology that persuades people to be self‐governing and adapt their aspirations, inter…
Social capital and community building through an electronic network
This paper describes a social policy experiment that explores current and potential links between trends in Australian public policy. The central example is provided by the implementation of a wired community set up in a low‐income public housing estate by an entrepreneurial not‐for‐profit internet service provider, InfoXchange. ‘Reach for the Clouds’, the wired community being established at Atherton Gardens in Fitzroy, Melbourne, is attractive …
Measuring Social Capital in a Networked Housing Estate
This paper describes the construction of 'Reach for the Clouds', an inventive scheme to build a resident-maintained 'networked community' in Atherton Gardens, an ethnically-diverse, low-income, high rise public housing estate in Melbourne, Australia. The project was developed by the InfoXchange, a not-for-profit Internet service provider with a 'social entrepreneurial' orientation. It involves a consortium of government and community groups and d…
