Session: Group Critique 1

Three prominent national museums - the National Museums of Kenya, the Museum of Civilization of Canada and the Holocaust Museum in the United States have asked to have peers critique their web sites. In this session, the "Critics Panel", Prof. Larry Friedlander (Stanford University Learning Lab), and Rob Semper (Exploratorium) will hear what the designers intended and then ask the hard questions, make suggestions, give praise and propose alternatives. The audience will be encouraged to give its views as well.
