Iding, Marie; Nordbotten, Joan
Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, v19 n3 p331-349 Oct 2011
This study investigated criteria that 91 pre-service teachers used to evaluate award-winning virtual museum exhibits for future use in teaching. Individual differences affected ratings, including teaching experience, age and gender. A categorization of participants' reasons for selection included audience level, site design and information quality. Implications for further research and incorporation of virtual museum resources in teaching are described. (Contains 2 notes, 3 footnotes and 7 tables.)
