In this paper we discuss the general approach and choices we made in developing a prototype of a social media monitor. The main goal of the museum monitor is to offer museum professionals and researchers better insight in the effects of their own social media usage and compare this with other actors in the cultural heritage sector. It gives researchers the opportunity to consider communication within the sector as whole. In the research project “Museum Compass” we have developed a prototype of a social media monitor, which contains data of current and historic online activities on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Foursquare and Flickr of all registered Dutch museums. We discuss – mostly in a practical sense – our approach for developing the monitor and give a few examples as a result of its usage.
This data set contains the results of a survey about reviewing Data Management Plans (DMPs). The survey was carried out by the Research Support and Advice working group of the Dutch National Coordination Point Research Data Management (LCRDM). Sixty people shared their experiences and feedback on DMPs by responding to the survey. The data set contains a concise report, the survey questions and the anonymised data.
Learning by creating qualitative representations is a valuable approach to learning. However, modelling is challenging for students, especially in secondary education. Support is needed to make this approach effective. To address this issue, we explore automated support provided to students while they create their qualitative representation. This support is generated form a reference model that functions as a norm. However, the construction of a reference models is still a challenge. In this paper, we present the reference model that we have created to support students in learning about the melatonin regulation in the context of the biological clock.
