This fall, all the courses we offer will be online. For online learning, we use Moodle, which allows participants to log in on their own schedule to complete activities and browse course material. You’ll receive a username and password which will give you access to the site, and then each week we’ll release more material for you to complete. On average, students spend between 2 and 6 hours per week on the course.
We hope to be able to return to offering in-person workshops in the spring, in addition to continuing our online offerings.
Costs for all online courses: $100 (Members), $150 (Non-Members), $50 (Students)
These course are offered as a part of MAS's Certificate Program in Community Museum Studies, a comprehensive, ten-course program, that provides entry-level training in museum management and operations. Participants will gain the skills they need in order to successfully operate a public community museum. Each course is offered in a scheduled rotation in locations across Saskatchewan on a two to three year cycle.
Participating in the certificate program will give you opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills to operate a successful public museum.
