Online Museum Classes
Description:
How well placed are you on the Internet? Can your museum be found easily? Or have you avoided putting up a page? Is your entire photo collection available on-line? Has this eased or increased research requests? Do you provide public education on topics covered by your museum as part of your on-line presence? Are you incorporating virtual exhibits? Join Eric for a chat about the virtual realities of today's museums. Share your successes and failures
Logistics:
Participants in What is Your Museum's Web Presence will read literature before joining in a one-hour chat to discuss how to improve their web presence. Participants will be sent information the week before the chat. Each student should read course materials and prepare questions or comments to share with the other students in the chat.
This is a mini-course and takes no more than 10 hours of a student's time. It will be held once in 2007.
Please sign up at http://www.museumclasses.org and pay at http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If you have trouble with either, please contact Helen Alten at helen@collectioncare.org
