Digital Excursions
MoAD’s Digital Excursions bring the heritage spaces of Old Parliament House directly into the classroom. All curriculum aligned, and covering exciting content differing from our onsite experiences, these digital programs allow our Museum Educators to connect with students in real time and guide them through the building to explore some key people and events in our democracy.
Students participate in interactive activities and discussions to learn more about their role as active citizens and our democratic history with knowledgeable museum educators.
MoAD’s Digital Excursions support your teaching by providing:
- a high quality experience to complement your teaching and enhance student learning
- an introductory activity to hook students into democracy or establish pre-knowledge
- exploration of behind the scenes heritage spaces
- opportunities for students unable to visit us onsite for a program and who would like to participate in our different digital program offerings
- flexible delivery of digital program content – to support students learning in the classroom and/or in a home learning environment
- an extension opportunity for your students
- an opportunity to build further knowledge after an onsite program visit.
Digital programs are currently free.

If your students are unable to join us on the day for a live facilitated program connection, we can provide you with a YouTube link to a pre-recorded version of the full excursion. This option is also available to assist other remote learning classroom needs if your whole class cannot join us for a live program. See individual excursion pages below for more information.
