Book Description

1555704255 978-1555704254 January 2002
Everything you need to know about the revolutionary breakthrough of distance education and its giant leap forward is in this book.

Chapters 1-2 answer questions many librarians have about the current strategies and techniques for managing classrooms on the Internet, how users can best benefit from classrooms accessible from home, and how E-mail and instant messaging help to expand the level of communication between students, educators, and librarians. Chapters 3-4 explain how the librarian is the key contributor to any e-Learning experience, and where you go on the Internet to create virtual courses of study and resources. Chapters 5-6 focus on the needs of distance education students and librarians and the common mistakes that beginners make when teaching or participating in classes online.

Learn all about what’s out there: best models now in use, pitfalls to avoid, brand new techniques being tested, and tips from successful teachers on making this dynamic, new form of learning all that it can be now.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In The Browsable Classroom, the authors tackle the entire realm of distance learning in just 171 pages: they introduce the vocabulary and concept of distance learning; discuss library and information science education taught in distance modes; instruct librarians on development of their own distance learning courses; and show librarians how to collaborate with instructors to include library resources in electronic courses. By packing so much into one volume, they have produced broad but shallow coverage of the realm of distance librarianship. Noah and Braun each have experience as web-based educators. Noah manages the distance-learning program at the Central Massachusetts Regional Library System and Braun (Introducing the Internet to Young Learners) is an educational technology consultant for LEO: Librarians and Educators Online. For librarians who need a quick introduction or for those who are not intimately involved with distance librarianship but who might find themselves in the position of providing occasional services to distance learners, this is an appropriate primer.

From Booklist

Noah and Braun explore the evolving world of possibilities for acquiring all types of education in light of innovative uses of the Internet. E-learners are transforming the jobs of librarians, on-site and remotely. Chapter 1 discusses techniques for managing Internet classrooms and how e-mail and instant messaging broaden communication between educators, students, and librarians. Following chapters discuss the librarian's role in e-learning, referring to specific schools and businesses offering credit programs and courses, and how distance educators need to "renew and retool." One chapter describes self-assessment tools for distance learners, and one reviews common mistakes made by students and librarians when beginning distance learning. Buy for most professional collections used by librarians who teach or support educators. RBB
