Popis: Effective interpretive panels go far beyond conveying information: they are highly engaging, instill passion, and inspire visitors to engage in environmental stewardship. This review paper on designing and evaluating interpretive panels at geoheritage sites shares recommendations gleaned from experts in conservation science, neuroscience, pedagogy, psychology, visual arts, and communication. It emphasizes the importance of developing a communication plan, knowing your audience, using strong visuals, invoking storytelling and active learning techniques, layering your message, being inclusive, choosing an appropriate panel location, integrating evaluation throughout the design process, and budgeting appropriately. An extensive reference list is provided for further reading.
