Distance Learning allows museums, libraries, and archives to reach learners around the globe.
Turn your local mission into a national spotlight for your collections, exhibits, and content experts.
Now more than ever, as institutions continue to face the challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, distance learning outreach and technology has proven itself to be instrumental to keep members, students, and all audiences engaged regardless of whether or not they can visit in person.
Key Programs
Virtual Field Trips
The National WWII Museum began offering virtual field trips in 2006 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Since then, the program has grown to reach thousands of students per year with a dedicated distance learning studio housed in the new Hall of Democracy. These interactive live programs allow students to interact one on one with a museum educator and can accommodate most any technology available.
Live Broadcasts
We bridge audiences with our collections and content through regular webinars as well as large-scale electronic field trips — documentary-style broadcasts that bring students on location to important WWII sites around the world. All live programs are recorded and made available for on-demand viewing.
Partnership with ASU
In 2019, The National WWII Museum launched a partnership with Arizona State University to jointly offer a fully online Masters degree in World War II Studies and a line of continuing education courses. With more than 200 students now enrolled, this innovative partnership is both mission-driven and a significant source of revenue that directly supports the educational mission.
