Oct: Libraries and MOOCs: Providing Solutions for Alt-Higher Ed (ALCTS)

Wednesday, October 9, 2013
sessions are intended to last 1 hour, starting:
11 am Pacific | 12 Mountain | 1 pm Central | 2 pm Eastern
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” outlining 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.
