On Wednesday, I listened to an audio conference sponsored by the Urban Libraries Council. The topic was - "E-Learning: Train Your Staff the Newfangled Way." The speakers were: Marilyn Mason (WebJunction), Helene Blowers (creator of Learning 2.0 - The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County), and Thomas Simpson (Orange County Library System - Orlando.) I attended the program anticipating all kinds of great new ideas and insights into using e-learning at LCLS. To my surprise, with the implementation of "Play to Learn", we are already beyond much of what was being discussed!
How exciting to know that we have already begun the process of incorporating e-learning at our library system - something that many libraries are still struggling with figuring out how to do it. It truly makes one appreciate our library system staff who are continually looking for ways to keep LCLS in the running as an earlier adopter of new technology initiatives.
For anyone that would like to hear a basic introduction to e-learning, we will be receiving a CD of the ULC audio conference in about a month. It will be cataloged and added to our Professional Collection when we receive it.
BTW, did you know that we have copies of ALL of the ULC audio conferences we have participated in as part of our Professional Collection?
