Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This class takes an expansive view of the current state of technology in museums, both from the inside (the use of technology to manage and administer daily operations) and from the outside (the use of technology to educate, market to, and develop one's audiences). By carefully considering both the latest scholarship and a wealth of real-world examples, students will begin to confront the issue of how technology mediates and changes the way in which the public interacts with a museum and its physical objects. Drawing on established concepts of technology in education, the course will offer a critical perspective on specific computer-based technologies in museums, and will also supply students with an attractive set of computing skills - still rare in many museums - that will help them in their professional endeavors 1.00 units, Seminar
