Attend from Anywhere!

A Completely Online Event
The Museum-Ed Online Conference is the most practical event you'll attend all year! Brought right to your desktop for interactive online sessions, discussions, hands-on learning, strategy swapping, and networking.

Many Ways to Interact

A Community-Generated Universe of Ideas
The Museum-Ed Online Conference includes a variety of ways to connect with and learn from colleagues. Each day of the conference features several live online sessions during which you interact with panelists and peers. All sessions are recorded and posted immediately for those who cannot attend live. Asynchronous discussion forums and resource "wikis" — for the collaborative collection of practical teaching ideas, links, handouts and learning objects — are a vital part of this very community-oriented event. The emphasis during Museum-Ed is on sharing, networking and generating a universe of ideas that everyone can use immediately in their practice.

Many Ways to Interact

Produced by LearningTimes, the leader in online conferences for education, the online conference community acts as the hub for the event. Access to fellow participants and great content begin before the conference commences with member introduction areas, downloadable materials, and topic-based discussion areas. Once the conference is underway, the site takes on the buzz and excitement of the best offline conferences. Participants meet new contacts and old friends on their way into each online conference session, and engage in the kind of conversations that characterize the best face-to-face gatherings. But it all happens without expensive travel and airport security hassles. The conference community survives the event itself, continuing to act as repository for all the great content generated during the two-day conference, and as a hub for ongoing access to the human network brought together for the conference. Tap into it at any time.

What are the basic technical requirements to participate?

• A PC or Mac (OS X 10.2 or higher) computer with a standard Internet connection (56 kbps or higher
• The free Flash Player 8 or higher
• Speakers or headphones connected to your computer

Is there a physical venue for the conference?

Nope! The Museum-Ed Online Conference takes place entirely over the Internet. You attend from any web connection, interacting with speakers and colleagues in a lively and meaningful manner - from anywhere.

Are group rates or site licenses available?

Absolutely! Significant savings are available for groups of 10 or more registrants. Registering a group is a great way to provide professional development opportunities for your whole team or staff -- at a tiny fraction of the cost of sending them to a face-to-face conference. Contact us for details.

If I can't attend the live sessions, is it still worth my while participating?

Without a doubt! The live sessions are one part of the conference experience. We record all of the presentations, and offer a wide array of on-demand resources and asynchronous forums for interacting with presenters and participants across all time zones. Furthermore, you get access to the full conference site for at least six months after the Museum-Ed Online Conference!
