This a three-day course that, through a spirit of collaboration (between public and private agencies, practitioners and training providers), aims to promote innovation and change, contribute to capacity building, and to help UK museums meet the challenges of the digital age.
The School is an occasion to reflect upon the impact and potential of digital media on the modern museum - timely at this moment when 'digital heritage' figures so largely within both the present activity and forward thinking of the sector.
Through a mixture of practical workshops, masterclasses, seminar discussions and demonstrations, the small group of just 12 participants have the chance to debate issues, share best practice, identify trends and opportunities, and build informed and effective strategies for working with new media in a museum context.
This year's Spring School will be organised around the following sessions:
Day 1
defining 'digital heritage':
the compatibility of computers and museums
valuing and managing digital objects and assets:
next generation collections management in a networked age
Day 2
developing effective on-line learning:
learning objects and digital learning environments in the museum
building in-gallery digital interactives:
the creative process
Day 3
writing for the new Web ecology:
the new publishing and communication environment for museums.
managing new media projects:
from concept to delivery, and the role of Soft System Methodology
