We are talking with our e-Education Institute about creating online 
collections care workshops for museum professionals as part of their 
Open Educational Resource Initiative. Each "workshop" would address the 
care and use of specific types of collections, e.g.,  mineral 
collections, osteology collections, vertebrate fossil collections, etc. 
These virtual workshops would not replace onsite or hand's on workshops, 
training, or museum studies courses but could be useful to museums and 
museum personnel who may not have time or budgets for, or access to 
other forms of continuing education.

The question is: is there an interest in this type of professional 
development?

Thank you.
Julianne
