Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many open and distance learning experiences were carried out by different museum and cultural institutions in order to promote the development of digital skills in museum professionals. This contribution aims to illustrate the results of an ERE (Emergency Remote Education) experience carried out in 2020 by the Center for Museum Studies (CDM) of Roma TRE University and aimed at soliciting digital, professional and transverse skills, such as critical thinking, in museum operators and educators attending the post-graduate courses in "Museum Education. Theoretical aspects"and "Advanced Studies in Museum Education". The results show a good level of self-assessment of the skills solicited in the participants and provide useful directions for the realization of online and open learning experiences for museum professionals. © 2021 IEEE.
