LIS education comes to YouTube.
The American Library Association (ALA) has partnered with the Syracuse University School of Information Studies (iSchool) in an innovative experiment to teach a course that is open to both students and the public via the online video platform YouTube.
Throughout the month of June, iSchool Professor Scott Nicholson will teach IST 600 Gaming in Libraries in three online spaces:
+ The Syracuse University YouTube channel, where video lectures and guest speakers will be posted and where students enrolled in the class will be required to post weekly video responses.
+ ALA Connect (http://connect.ala.org), ALA’s professional networking site, which will host the discussion of students, speakers, librarians, professional experts, industry veterans and other participants from the general public.
+ The iSchool’s online learning management system, a private space for enrolled students to ask questions and submit their assignments.
