Dear Barbara, At the Philadelphia Museum of Art, we do ISDN-based videoconferencing for K-12 students throughout the country. We charge a fee for those videoconferences of $100 for a 40min-1hour lesson. We are currently in development on a web site that will supplement and enhance what we do via videoconferencing. It will be a resource for teachers providing them with images, information, strategies, and exchange opportunites. We are also developing a web-based distance learning course for teachers with a local university. But, nothing is on our site just yet. We plan to offer the resource center free, but charge for the course. If you further questions about either of these programs, feel free to contact me. -Michelle Falzone, Distance Learning Coordinator Philadelphia Museum of Art 215-684-7928 [log in to unmask] >From: Barbara Moses <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Museum discussion list <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Distance learning >Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 13:46:08 PST > >We are considering developing distance learning programs for schools in neighboring counties. For those museums with distance learning programs, are your programs free or do you charge a fee (e.g. the school must subscribe)? Also, are there any museums with interactive/educational web sites (or virtual tours) that charge users to access or to visit the sites?
