Virtual Exhibits Investment Program - Program Guidelines: Overview
The mission of the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC) is to engage audiences of all ages in Canada's diverse heritage through a dynamic Internet service freely available to the public in French and English.
Calls for proposals for the Virtual Exhibits Investment Program are held once each year. The proposals are evaluated on a competitive basis and contracts are awarded to those that are successful.
All proposals must be submitted using the on-line proposal form, available on the CHIN website, by the deadline specified for each call, and are evaluated by an editorial board.
All participants must use the Learning Object Input Tool (an online Web application available from CHIN website in the Investment Programs section) for the creation of learning object collections relating to their production. Institutions must also create a related lesson plan using the learning object collection. For additional information be sure to consult the FAQ section on the Virtual Exhibits Investment Program.
Online products that receive investment from the Virtual Exhibits Investment Program must be available in both English and French, for a period of five years following the launch of the product.
