This is the same college level introductorycourse on Heritage Interpretation that I taught at Michigan State University,and in our world-wide interpretive training courses.  This is a perfect hands-on e-learningexperience for:
            -New and seasonal interpretive staff for parks and related heritage sites.
            -Training for docents and volunteers for museums or heritage sites responsiblefor
               planning and delivery of interpretiveprograms or tours.
            -A good review course for those that train interpreters who, themselves, havenever had a 
               college level course in heritageinterpretation.
 
The course unit topics include:
            -That makes the message, program or service “interpretive” not just informational.
            -Review or introduction to Tilden’s Interpretive Principles
            -Review of how visitors learn and remember concepts in a “recreational learning 
               environment”.
            -Developing interpretive themes and objectives.
            -Understanding how to read your audience (and tangibles & intangibles).
            -Overview of interpretive media interpretation (panels, exhibits, publications).
            -Self-evaluation – were your objectives for your program or media accomplished?
 
The way the course works.
Just like a semester level college course,each Unit is set up as a college lecture. Each unit includes:
            -YouTube video on the Unit content.
            -e-Text book on interpretive concepts, principles and planning.
            -Additional handout materials.
- Your homework assignment to be sent to the courseinstructor for review and   
  comments.  Upon your completion of each Unit you’ll besent the next Unit to work on.
- You can start the course at any time and work onthe course at your own pace.
- You can contact the instructor anytime you have questionsor just like to chat.
 
Upon completion of the course you willreceive a Certificate of Completion,noting the award of your CEU (Continuing Education Units) credits.
