ALCTS webinar: Libraries and MOOCs: Providing Solutions for Alt-Higher Ed
Date: October 9, 2013
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are sweeping the country
and libraries and librarians are watching this development carefully. This
series of four webinars will help librarians gain an understanding of the
complexity of the MOOC “movement,” learn how to support students and
faculty engaged with MOOCs, become familiar with the copyright and
intellectual property requirements in relation to MOOCs, and hear what the
future may hold for MOOCs.
On October 9, 2013, Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian for
Research & Instructional Services at Temple University, will offer
"Libraries and MOOCs: Providing Solutions for Alt-Higher Ed." With higher
education in a transformative period, librarians are reviewing trends and
thinking about how they will fit into this new landscape which might be
called "alt-higher ed." Whether a traditional online course, or a MOOC,
librarians should be recognized as full partners in curricular development
and student support. Steven will discuss how librarians can insert
themselves effectively into the conversation and as 'solutions- providers,'
not solely 'ingredients-suppliers,' librarians are true gate-openers in the
world of alternative higher education.
Who should attend? Librarians, library administrators, and library
educators interested in supporting and enhancing libraries’ preparation of
and participation in MOOCs.
Presenter: Steven J. Bell is the Associate University Librarian for
Research and Instructional Services at Temple University and served as the
president of ACRL for 2012-13. Steven writes and speaks about academic
librarianship, learning technologies, library management, higher education,
design thinking and user experience. He is a co-founder of the Blended
Librarian’s Online Learning Community on the Learning Times Network and
enjoys delivering virtual presentations.
