ALCTS Webinar: MOOCs and the Public Library: An Opportunity
Wednesday, February 26, 2014
All webinar sessions are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific,
12 Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description
This webinar will discuss the opportunities for public libraries to
promote lifelong learning by becoming meet-up destinations for MOOCs.
The webinar is based on the experience of the Ridgefield (Connecticut)
Library which hosted a ten-week literature-based MOOC.
This series of webinars features librarians and scholars from public and
academic libraries reporting on the latest research about MOOCs and
offering practical information on creating and presenting MOOCs. It will
appeal to librarians in academic, public, and special libraries.
Presenters will discuss the role libraries play in the development of
MOOCs and share information that will enable attendees to familiarize
themselves with the steps involved in developing a MOOC. Learn more
about the Libraries and MOOCs webinar series, both upcoming sessions and
those held in 2013 (recordings are available).
Presenter
Dorothy Pawlowski is Adult Services Librarian at the Ridgefield
(Connecticut) Library. Her article “MOOCing at the Public Library,”
appeared in the December 2013 issue of Library Journal.
