Learn @ASP

Learn@ASP is the ASP’s new online learning and professional development portal, launched in summer 2022.

Since 2006, ASP has hosted online training in astronomy communication for museum educators, park rangers, scientists, and classroom teachers, and Learn@ASP is the new home for all of these offerings. It allows for both live and asynchronous learning activities for participants, and detailed participation tracking for us to monitor participant progress in order to offer better support and reporting.

Since the launch, 244 amateur astronomers, 287 undergraduate students, 257 teachers, and 71 scientists have participated in workshops to support them in engaging their students and communities around the 2024 total solar eclipse. We’ve also hosted workshops for teachers on optics and stellar evolution, and a workshop for museum educators on inclusive practices.
