Additional Notes
All virtual programs include up to 15 minutes for a tech test with the organizer, students and facilitator before the program begins, plus time at the end for student questions and discussion. The main organizer can sign on a few minutes before the scheduled start time if they wish to.
We run our virtual programming using Zoom. Once your booking has been confirmed, you will receive a unique link for a Zoom meeting. You are not required to hold a Zoom license as the Museum is hosting the meeting. Where possible, we will work with organizations who prefer to use other platforms.
Virtual programs require a strong internet connection and access to a video/sound system (ie. through a laptop or tablet). If your students do not have access to the internet, they can call into the tour using a local phone number.
