This course aims to stimulate students to engage critically and creatively with the opportunities of new media, and, in particular, to encourage the development of the philosophical approaches and practical skills needed by new media professionals, managers and others in the museum and heritage sector.
The course explores the conceptual, practical and technological opportunities and issues of new media in the museum and heritage sector. Set in the established practices of cultural preservation and communication, six core modules develop the changing technological context of heritage, the relationships between material and virtual culture, the development of digital collections, communication and e-learning, audiences, design and marketing, and sustainable development.
The course draws upon case studies, and the global resource of digital resources, as well exploiting online activities. Students will also be encouraged to develop skills in such areas as database management, multimedia and web design. Further information about the individual modules will be available on the Department´s website.
