Museums and cultural institutions, historically at the vanguard of enhancing opportunities for lifelong learning, have embraced a variety of technologies to extend partnerships and enhance their communications with the public. Through the experiences of model projects supported under the Department of Commerce's Telecommunications and Information Infrastructure Program (TIIAP), Lammot du Pont will explore the impact of technology on lifelong learning, evaluation methods for network-based projects, and opportunities to find out more about TIIAP's funding process and priorities. Lammot du Pont is currently a Program Officer for the Department of Commerce's Telecommunications and Information Infrastructure Assistance Program (TIIAP). TIIAP provides matching grants for network applications to non-profit organizations such as schools, libraries, museums, hospitals, public safety entities, and state and local governments. For the last three years, Lammot has worked with a range of cultural and educational organizations that are using network technology to enhance lifelong learning. Before joining TIIAP, Lammot worked as an economist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, focusing on issues and technologies associated with the development of an advanced information infrastructure. Lammot is a native of Washington D.C., earning his Bachelor's degree from Duke University and a Master's in International Affairs from Columbia University.
