ALCTS Webinar Series: Libraries and MOOCs
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.
February 26, 2014. Dorothy Pawloski will discuss opportunities for
public libraries to promote lifelong learning by becoming meet-up
destinations for MOOCs.
March 26, 2014. Curtis L. Kendrick and Irene Gashurov will look at how
librarians can shape the conversation about changes created by MOOCs.
May 21, 2014. Rebecca Griffith will look at new research on
opportunities and challenges associated with using third-party MOOCs in
campus-based services.
June 4, 2014. Sarah Bardac will look at the roles, opportunities, and
pitfalls of MOOCs.
These webinars, presented in fall 2013, are available online.
September 25, 2013. Mike Eisenberg set the stage by examining the
origins of online learning and explaining why MOOCs continue to
thoroughly capture the imagination of students, educators, and
administrators.
October 9, 2013. Steven Bell outlined his views on the role of the
librarian as a “solutions provider” to the online learning community.
Whether a traditional online course, or a MOOC, librarians should be
recognized as full partners throughout the development process. Steven
will discuss how librarians can get into the conversation.
November 6, 2013. Kevin L. Smith offered insights into the library’s
role educating users with regard to their rights and responsibilities
vis ŕ vis copyright in settings beyond the traditional classroom model.
December 11, 2013. Jonathan Grudin let us know whether he is optimistic
or pessimistic about the future of MOOCs.
