About the Course
What does the technology in heritage look like, and how can heritage workers harness these ever evolving tools in a clear, conscious, and critical way? This three-part workshop will explore the current technological landscape in heritage, while offering participants tangible ways to engage with technology integration. Through open discussion and practical examples, participants will: explore the current standards across the heritage sector, break down the most prominent benefits and challenges of the tools being used, learn how to align new technology adoption with an organization’s mission statement and purpose, and the importance of creating new policies that will guide technology use and help mitigate any potential harm.
This course consists of 3 live sessions, which will be held on Zoom. The schedule is provided in the full course description, available here. Please note that the sessions will not be recorded.
