Online Museum Classes
In 2004 we launched our new web training service
http://www.museumclasses.org. This exciting training vehicle allows any museum person to attend professional continuing education in museum studies topics, without the costs of travel to attend a workshop. The technology not only transmits information beautifully, but also creates new professional networks as museum staff from around the world instantaneously communicate with each other about topics of mutual concern. We have had nothing but rave reviews for the technology and the information taught using the technology.
If you are interested in these courses, please contact Helen Alten at and sign up at MuseumClasses.org. Signing up as a prospective student now for any future courses is encouraged and does not require payment. Students will not be enrolled in paid courses until payment has been received. Students are manually enrolled into courses as they open, enrollment keys are no longer necessary.
Upcoming Online Museum Classes:
We've added courses in security, collections management, care of specific materials and archaeology. New this year are short courses - one week on one topic - held the second Wednesday of each month. For those of you on a budget, the short courses give you a taste of what a full course provides.
