In response to the impact of Covid-19, CUPIDO European Interreg cultural heritage project collaborated with XpoNorth Heritage to hold a programme of eight online digital skills workshops aimed at the Heritage sector and facilitated by Dr Alan Miller and Catherine Anne Cassidy, from the Open Virtual Worlds Group at the University of St Andrews.
The workshops were designed to help heritage organisations develop the skills to connect with existing and potential new audiences through digital media, covering topics such as digitising collections, photogrammetry, working with phones and commodity cameras to create 360 degree images and videos.
We've drafted a guide for popular social media platforms, which outlines the key aspects to consider when getting started with social media and creating a social media strategy. Social media is another great way to increase your digital engagement with audiences, both during 糖心Vlog Days and beyond!
