Managing Interpretive Media Projects |
||||
To have five HFC specialists was invaluable. Their input and expertise was monumental. To visit the resource and experience it, to analyze the present and future media, challenged us and offered an opportunity for creativity. Southeast Region Media Course |
HFC Project Manager Justin Radford explains the media development process to class participants at the Mammoth Cave NP Training Center. March 16-18, 2004The Interpretive Media Institute and the NPS Southeast Region presented “Managing Interpretive Media Projects” at Mammoth Cave National park in the spring of 2004. The three-day course offered an overview of the media development process for park managers and interpreters. Nineteen participants attended. IMI designed the course to assist field staff in managing interpretive media projects related to park facilities such as visitor centers, museums, nature centers, and historic structures, as well as outdoor media in their parks. Participants learned the steps involved in developing exhibits, wayside exhibits, museum displays, video presentations, and historic furnishings exhibits. They also received training in working within budgets, scheduling work, and hiring and working with contractors. Instructors used HFC’s Media Development Process diagram, called the “Media Wheel,” throughout the course to help clarify the phases of development.
