Heritage Interpretation Training Center Interpretive Master Planning Courses and Resources When I was teaching Interpretive Master Planning at Ohio State University, it was considered the "cap stone" course for our interpretive major. Today folks still think there is only "one" course in Interpretive Master Planning. But we have developed and offer 8 courses in interpretive planning . All of these courses are based on actual interpretive planning projects we have done over the years and reflect both "real world" and state-of-the-art interpretive planning techniques and strategies. We teach what we do, and do what we teach. All courses can be started anytime and completed at your own pace. All courses include copies of my Interpretive Planning e-text books, support videos, a variety of handouts and sample completed interpretive plans to use as references for format and content. Just click on the link for the course details. As an e-LIVE course, you can work on actual interpretive planning projects as part of the course assignments and receive free planning consultation and coaching for your interpretive planning project.
