Hello all,

I know a lot of museums have been closing to the public for their health and safety. I have been very excited to see the work that these museums have been doing to engage their public while they are closed.

I am writing to invite you to participate in a short survey about distance learning programs in museums that have been closed to the public due to Covid-19 (also known as Corona Virus). We are attempting to better understand how museums are developing and using distance learning to reach their visitors during this closure. For this study, a distance learning program is any program conducted via the internet with audiences at offsite locations. 

If are developing new programs, we know your time is very valuable. This short survey will take about 5 minutes and you may choose not to answer any questions. We want to capture the great work museums are doing to support their visitors in this difficult time.

If you are interested in participating in the study, please click this link for more information. We are happy to offer a $10 gift card for the completion of the survey.

The survey can also be found here: https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eyDpFykGJ1qto2N

If you participated in my distance learning survey last month, please mention it in the comments and respond to this survey based on the new work you are doing related to Covid-19 closures only.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, the principle investigator, at mennes@floridamuseum.ufl.edu. I am the Assistant Curator of Museum in the Department of Natural History at the University of Florida. This survey has IRB approval under IRB Project #: IRB202000752.

Thank you for your time.
