Museos y cibercultura, websites en la red

Resumo

This doctoral work focuses on the development of an evaluation tool for websites of Art museums, based on the use of New Information and Communication Technologies, along with the advantages and possibilities offered by the Network, which connects the Internet, as far as communication, information and learning is concerned. This tool is designed in order to evaluate the capabilities of the websites in reference to the informal, autonomous and permanent learning that can be done in them. The aim is to draw up, from the websites, an educational, permanent, social and online artifact that allows an educational process adapted to the needs and preferences of users, which also extends the limits of art museums. After the development of this tool for the analysis and evaluation of museum websites, this study is applied to five websites of national museum institutions, contributing conclusions and proposals derived from the results. This study deals with the creation of an evaluation tool for art museum websites, which is easy to apply and offers an Ideal Model, allowing the determination of the degree of adaptation to the proposed Assessment Areas and Limits.
