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:
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 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.
