The Virtual Village is a platform that Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) uses to distribute its content virtually. The goal of the project was to work through the Worcester Community Project Center to develop recommendations to create, distribute, monetize, and evaluate content for OSV’s Virtual Village. This project was completed using a three-step methodology that consisted of interviews with village staff, a survey of OSV members, and an evaluation of OSV’s current resources. Using the data collected from these methods, our team created recommendations outlining content categories, a distribution method, a monetization structure, and an evaluation plan for the Virtual Village. Additionally, we provided a sample video and survey to demonstrate our recommended delivery and evaluation plans.
