AH3.1 Identify current and potential users and their needs
AH3.2 Evaluate the impact of interpretative and learning activities on users
This unit is for archaeologists who have responsibility for exhibitions and interpretative activities. It is important to identify and evaluate the requirements of users of learning and interpretative activities. This involves identifying current and potential users, both as individuals and in groups, and their learning, educational and social needs. It also involves gathering information through suitable collection methods and from all relevant sources and consulting representative groups of users to determine their current and future needs. This information needs to be analysed and related to the organisation's learning strategy.
The impact of interpretative and learning activities on users needs to be evaluated. This involves using information from a variety of sources such as surveys, admissions data and knowledge and observations of staff. This information needs to be analysed and recorded so that the feedback can be used to influence the strategy for interpretation and to revise the evaluation activity.
