Hi GEMers, This is a follow up to Gareths posting about our new e-interp web based interpretive courses. I thought I would add some additional information about each course. The current courses now available: Introduction to Interpretation: _http://bit.ly/introinterpretation_ (http://bit.ly/introinterpretation) Planning Interpretive Panels: _http://bit.ly/interpretivepanels_ (http://bit.ly/interpretivepanels) The attached flyer provides more details on the course content. The content of each course reflects the content of my current live interpretive courses that I have been teaching at Plas tan y Bwlch (Snowdonia National Park Training Center in Wales), and world-wide, for the past 20+ years. They provide a solid interpretive foundation on these topics. The exciting element is that e-interp provides interpretive training opportunities to interpreters world-wide who might not have access to live interpretive training opportunities, or who want course work on topics that no one else teaches! Two new interpretation courses are in preparation to be added to the e-interp courses collection: -Planning Truly Interpretive Exhibits -Developing effective marketing brochures for heritage sites and attractions. We hope to have these on line with cpd4education in January 2012. In addition to these four interpretive courses, we have an additional 9 more to be developed and posted in 2012. More details on these course topics are provided on the attached flyer, including planning and conducting guided tours/walks, and Interpretive Master Planning. All of these courses will use my new interpretive text books as an "optional" text book. _http://museumsetc.com/products/interpretation_ (http://museumsetc.com/products/interpretation) which will be sold at a discount to course subscribers, as well as additional on-line articles. It is my hope that these courses will help give new or experienced interpreters new tools, techniques and ideas to help them "provoke, relate, and reveal" more successfully, but also to understand what it truly means for their messages, regardless of the media used, to be "interpretive". If you have any questions about these or future courses please feel free to contact me.
