FALL 2001 INTERNSHIP: RESEARCH AND EVALUATION The Institute for Learning Innovation is seeking candidates for a three-month paid internship as a Research and Evaluation Assistant.. The Institute, a non-profit organization committed to understanding, facilitating, and communicating about free-choice learning, works with museums and other community-based institutions world-wide to conduct research and evaluation projects that further our understanding of free-choice learning. We define free-choice learning as that learning which most typically occurs while people visit museums or other cultural institutions; watch television; read a book, magazine, or newspaper; talk with friends; attend a play; surf the Internet; or engage in other activities in which they learn. The three-month fall internship begins in September or early October 2001. Start and end dates can be tailored to accommodate the intern's schedule. The Research and Evaluation Assistant will work on a variety of projects including the evaluation of museum exhibitions and/or programs, as well as the evaluation of community-based and/or technology-based programs. Past interns have been involved with projects such as a front-end evaluation of an exhibition at the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum and a summative evaluation of a state-wide program in Pennsylvania designed to diversify interpretation and audiences at historic sites and museums. Interested candidates should send a cv/resume, three letters of reference, and a letter of intent to: Institute for Learning Innovation, 166 West St., Annapolis, MD 21401. Attention: Dale Jones.
