Planning
and Design for Interpretive Panels Course
Did
you know???
* Panels can work to accomplish management objectives.
* Do you know the newest and most vandal resistant interpretive panel materials?
* Panels should generate more "benefits" than they cost.
* Interpretive
panels don't need expensive frames anymore.
* Interpretive panels should generally not have more than 100 words of main text (according to research).
* You need to
deliver your message on your panel in about 15 seconds.
* Unless you
panels are themed to one theme, the memory retention from a person actually reading
your panels is under a minute (from evaluation post panel contact
studies).
* An
interpretive panel needs to actually use Tilden's Interpretive Principles in its
design and
text.
* Interpretive
panels don't have to be square either.
If you're
interested in learning more research, skills and techniques in developing and
evaluating interpretive panels, then this course is for you. Check it out. Start any time and work through the
course at your own pace, with the course on-line course. We can also have
a whole design team take the course at one time for a reduced
tuition.
