Even before the pandemic, online library instruction was a growing trend in the library world. Now it is essential.

In this eCourse, library instruction experts Dominique Turnbow and Amanda Roth show you how you can effectively move in-person instruction operations online with minimal disruption. The course will include readings, discussion topics, weekly assignments, and four optional, weekly, 90-minute live sessions. Each live session will be recorded for those that prefer to complete the course asynchronously. The instructors will take you from the design process to delivery, assessment, and quality control.

By participating in this course, you will learn:

Key theoretical concepts in online instructional design and how they differ from in-person design
How to design online instruction with intention and purpose
How to assess the effectiveness of your learning tools
How to select the best design and learning management tools to meet your needs

Upon purchase you will receive a registration PDF in the form of a digital download. This PDF contains a link to our Registration page and a password.
