Abstract
Digital museums have become popular in recent years. While some were built by real museums as a virtual alternative, many more do not have a physical correspondence. In addition to providing exhibitions that are open 24 hours a day, a digital museum also allows uses to gain access to the museum’s repository through a searchable digital archive that is often implemented as part of the system.his thesis explores the issue of using contents of a digital museum for education. ducation is an important goal of digital museums. While some digital museums provide material for teachers to use in classrooms, they are usually static material such as web pages, which cannot be modified or re-arranged. We propose a tool for the users to extract content from a digital museum and the web and compose them into course material. e describe a mechanism to extract and organize information obtained from a digital museum. We also show how the course material created can be used in a classroom setting via serial display. If the author chooses to make the courses produced available, they can also be made public and accessed by other users through the web.o show the feasibility of our method, we built a prototype on an existing Digital Museum of Butterflies. We show how the system works by collect information, prepare lectures and present course materials about butterflies on the same platform.
