The Archives for Learning and Education Section of ARA is running two complementary training days on digital learning in partnership with The National Archives. For details of these events and how to book see below:
TRAINING DAY 1 - DIGITAL LEARNING RESOURCES ON A SHOESTRING
16 November 2015 at ‘The Talks Room’, The National Archives, Kew
Are you interested in experimenting with digital learning but feel unsure how or where to start? Or perhaps you are already involved in planning or developing digital learning, and would like an update on best practice and tips for achieving more with less. If so, this training day is for you.
Curated and delivered by Martin Bazley, the day will consist of interactive and hands-on workshop-type presentations with tips and practical demonstrations about:
• how to get started in this area when you have limited resources
• how you can get your users engaged and reach out to new audiences
• how to make resources sustainable in the medium and long term
Everyone is welcome but the event may be particularly relevant to archivists, education/outreach officers and other professionals working in small and medium-sized organisations.
