Apologies for cross promotions.

New and emerging technologies present challenges and opportunities for
museums and informal educators. Immersive online exhibits can create
compelling visitor experiences, extending the reach and mission of
museums and other cultural institutions, while new collaborative tools
can help provide engaging environments allowing museums, communities,
and the public to work together in meaningful ways. 

Join the Cultural Management Program at the University of Victoria for
this five-day immersion learning opportunity November 14 - 18, 2006:

The New Web: Interactive and Collaborative Technologies in the Museum
World

Over the past ten years, museum developers have created a wide-range of
online exhibits and interactive environments. With a decade of
experience, museums have been classifying and evaluating different types
of exhibits and best practices and standards have emerged. This course
will explore the ways in which effective online exhibits are created.
Established development tools such as Flash and QuickTime, along with
database software, scripting and markup languages will also be examined.


In addition, the course will look forward and investigate a new wave of
collaborative and community-based technologies which promise greater
visitor interaction and contribution. The possibilities and potential
pitfalls that blogs, forums, collaborative sites, podcasts, and wikis
present.
