Subject: Collecting Data on Engagement
Dear Colleagues, I am interested in learning if anyone has done research on collecting data for engagement related to exhibitions, museum education, collection databases, social media and virtual exhibitions. Presently the data we gather is tracking numbers of visitors, numbers of students or members of the public that attend our museum education workshops, Qualtrics surveys that are presented to professors to understand the experiences their students have in our workshops. If you are currently analyzing data to measure engagement what is the metrics that you use? - Debbie Disston
