Subject: [INFOLIT] New Information Literacy MOOC launching today

Several Librarians from AICAD (Association for Independent Colleges of Art and Design) colleges decided to experiment on a creating a simple MOOC course on the Canvas.net platform.

We intend that it to serve as a brief introduction to Information Literacy for Art and Design Students.

This is somewhat of an unprecedented collaboration.  We wanted way to learn what it's like facilitating and creating a MOOC. It's been interesting-and a lot of work. We will report on the process and provide results later.

In case you'd like to monitor our course, you are invited to register here: https://www.canvas.net/courses/information-literacy-for-art-and-design-students

As part of the process, we also made a "commercial for art libraries" which is available on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEWaAvRs0z8


Thanks,
Sue and Tony
