Digital Excursions
MoAD’s Digital Excursions bring the heritage spaces of Old Parliament House directly into the classroom. All curriculum aligned, and covering exciting new content to our onsite program 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, role-play and discussions and learn more about their role as active citizens.
MoAD’s Digital Excursion programs are designed for schools:
- who are unable to visit us onsite for a program and who would like to participate in our different digital program offerings
- who require flexible delivery of digital program content – to support students learning in the classroom and/or in a home learning environment
- who want an extension opportunity for their students
- to build further knowledge after an onsite program visit.
Due to COVID-19, a number or our Digital Excursion programs are now eligible for a time limited PACER rebate. See the pacer.org.au website for the process of claiming the rebate.

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.
