About the Workshop:

In today’s digital world, the user experience starts with the museum’s digital presence. This online course will explore how museums can use social media, communication, and digital strategies to engage online communities.

Participants will learn how digital approaches can support a museum’s core mandate and its collection. Over the course of three weeks participants will discuss digital strategies, communication and accessibility practices, digital promotion on social media platforms and how all these things help strengthen an institution’s core mission and improve visitor engagement, streamline collections, and expand public reach.

This workshop consists of 3 pre-recorded sessions and 1 live session. The schedule provided in the full workshop description, available here.
