Consider What Goes Into a Good Exhibit
Just as an in-person exhibit will have key elements that make it valuable and interesting to the audience, so too with an online exhibition. Consider each aspect of the exhibition and how you can provide a new insight or perspective on the topic with the online exhibition. The ways that you choose to present the topic and key knowledge or supports as well as the collection of exhibit materials will play a key role in how effective and accepted your online exhibition is.
Consider including:
● Mixed media including video, images, design elements, and graphics.
● A personal or emotional response.
● Material is presented in a constructive manner.
Why Create an Online Exhibition?
Next, you need to decide why you want to create an online exhibition. As you look at how to do an online exhibition, think of why it would make sense to share this exhibition with your audience. As you consider why you want to create the exhibition, consider the following:
● How to educate the audience with the exhibition.
● How you will bring awareness to the audience with the exhibition.
● How you will share findings with your audience.
