| Upcoming Online Museum Classes:
Our 2009 Class Schedule is online. We've added courses in microclimates, care of furniture and wooden objects, care of leather, scripting the exhibit, mannequin design and education in museums.
www.museumclasses.org is five years old in 2009 and celebrates by offering 67 courses taught by 18 instructors with 2 support staff. This is amazing progress for an idea we weren't sure would work. As most of you know, it works pretty well and continues to be a fun and easy way to reach out to colleagues around the globe. We have a reputation for top-quality courses that provide the latest information on each topic. This is due to the incredible expertise of our instructors.
In 2004 when we launched our web training service http://www.museumclasses.org we were looking for a way to connect people around the world without having to travel far from our families. Our first course, Storage for Infinity, was a test to see if we could successfully inspire students and impart knowledge through a computer. We were surprised to find it was fun, too. Since then, our growth has been rapid.
Our training works. Any museum person can attend professional continuing education in museum studies topics, without added travel costs to attend a workshop. The technology not only transmits information beautifully, but also creates new professional networks as museum staff from around the world instantaneously communicate with each other about topics of mutual concern. We have had many positive reviews for the technology and the information taught using the technology.
