Media Awards

New Statesman New Media Award for Education 2005

City Heritage Guides from the 24 Hour Museum - Each City Guide offers an educational experience presented in an engaging and exciting way, encouraging users to visit the cities. Users are invited to submit their own experiences and stories using Storymaker - a simple online authoring tool. The sites also educate in a variety of ways, not only for searching, aggregating and presenting information, but also building communities through the contribution of individuals. Storymaker and the software infrastructure for the entire project was provided by System Simulation.
