Video Conferencing - Museums as Providers

GEM LONDON TRAINING DAY

Venue:  Royal Armouries, HM Tower of London
Date:   Monday 20 January 2003
Time:   10.30am-4.00pm
Cost:   £5 Gem member, £15 non-members (includes sandwich lunch) Maximum 2 per institutional member

Video conferencing is a rapidly developing medium offering the potential to work with a variety of groups off-site - whether this be, for example, rural communities, schools beyond travelling distance or even groups abroad.  This day is held in conjunction with Global-leap who, working with the Department of Education and Skills, has supplied a number of museum education departments with video conferencing equipment.  This group will pilot the equipment and help to inform the expansion in the next stage.  Global-leap is presently fundraising to enable more equipment to be supplied on a free loan to museums.

The day will offer the opportunity to sample the technology and see its interactivity. 

The day includes:

• Basic training on how to use video conferencing
• case studies - making video conferencing an integral part of an education programme
• live on-line link to another participating museum

Please return the booking form below with a cheque (unfortunately I cannot process invoices but I will be delighted to send you a receipt) made payable to GEM London to Liz Denton, The Royal Armouries, HM Tower of London, London, EC3N 4AB. 

The closing date for registration is 10 January 2003.
