Description

This course responds to the changing nature of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) and explores new roles in contemporary, digitally transforming institutions. Learn about emerging communities of practice and the opportunities they offer for working and thinking, differently. Look at digital futures and discuss the way professional roles in the sector are changing, particularly as more traditional roles such as curator are increasingly complemented by roles like experience developer and creative producer. The learning in this course provides a broad overview of the GLAM sector and considers the radical transformation it has undergone over the last 60 years in response to the changing needs of society.

UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.
