Collections-based learning during COVID-19

Universeum - Student Engagement Working Group

As university museums are in lockdown or face strict social distancing measures, how has this affected access to and learning with collections? What opportunities does digital object-based learning bring and how are university museums adapting to the new circumstances?
Join us for a long coffee break with the Universeum network on the 24th of June to share our experiences of managing university collections and learning in the COVID-19 crisis.
The roundtable will bring some current examples of collections-based learning, alongside the challenges, hopes and concerns to resume museum work after the pandemic, addressing the following questions:
<UL>
<LI>What approaches to collections-based learning and student engagement were being used prior to Covid-19 pandemic?</LI>
<LI>What challenges are we facing in moving collections-based learning online?</LI>
<LI>What strategies have been devised to address these challenges, successful or otherwise?</LI>
<LI>What elements of your new working environment will you keep post COVID?</LI>
</UL>
There will be 6 speakers from various UK institutions sharing their experience and expertise:
<UL>
<LI>Kate Arnold-Forster, Museum of English Rural Life</LI>
<LI>Sam Beath, Manchester Museum</LI>
