The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is pleased to offer the following 6-day immersion course Electronic Outreach: Museum Programming on the Web for professionals in museums, heritage planning and related organizations.
Electronic Outreach: Museum Programming on the Web
The Web provides an exciting dimension in which museums are interacting with new audiences and presenting engaging programs unencumbered by physical space and time. While the development of online programs builds on many of the core principles of more conventional exhibitions and public programming, it also requires an understanding of online media, their potential and limitations, and their implications for information sharing, interpretation and interactions.
This course draws on contemporary research and emerging practice in online programming, and encourages you to consider creative ways to program on the Web as you develop your ability to:
* understand the Web as an educational medium
* appreciate the potential of a range of Web media tools including digital video and QuickTime VR, along with technical considerations relating to bandwidth, software, and hardware
* define ways in which your museum can incorporate Web-based programming within its educational mission
* identify and serve existing and potential on-line audiences including peoples of varied age, background, learning styles, and special needs
* develop engaging content
* move beyond posting information to more interactive teaching and learning strategies that enable visitors to connect with objects and collections, create meaning, contribute content, and share experience
* recognize effective approaches to Web site architecture, copy, design, typography, colour, multi-media tools, and navigation
* develop and manage dynamic team-based and collaborative approaches
* plan, market, implement, and evaluate on-line programs
