Museum Development Officers run training programmes and provide one-to-one support for museums right across London
In 2018 - 2022, the Digital Futures Programme will excite the London museum sector with the possibilities of digital technologies and digital engagement. Through the training programme, London Museum Development will deliver at least 12 courses each year aimed at developing the digital skills of London's museums. These courses have been designed and tailored for London's museums, based on the feedback from our Training Needs Analysis of the London non-national museum sector (PDF 690kb, opens in new tab). The programme has also been influenced by the findings of the Mendoza Review, Culture is Digital and Digital Culture 2017 reports.
The Digital Futures training programme will take a modular approach, with sessions focused on social media and marketing, digital content creation and digital 'back of house'. Each module will start with a briefing session which will focus on the different skills and literacies needed for museums within each module. You can download a calendar for 2018 - 2019 to see when we will be delivering each module and the types of courses on offer (PDF 354kb, opens in new tab). You can apply for a place on these courses below, or directly through our booking form.

How To: Make an Interactive Story
Friday 26 October, 1 - 4pm
Museum of London, London Wall
The aim of this training is to show museum and cultural heritage professionals how to make a free, digital interactive story. These stories can be used for a variety of things, from gallery tours to learning activities. We will look at examples of interactive stories, and discuss how museums and galleries can use interactive story telling within their spaces. By the end of the session, delegates will have the tool-set to create their own interactive, digital stories to be used both in-house and online. All you’ll need is a laptop or tablet device, and a few stories you’d like to tell. PLEASE NOTE: Bringing your own laptop will be necessary for this workshop.
