With the help of consultants and technology planning gurus Sandra Nelson and Diane Mayo (they literally wrote the book!), we are assessing ways in which WebJunction and TechAtlas can provide tools that would make technology planning easier
for libraries. As a part of this study, we are soliciting your input. Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey about your library’s technology planning environment.
Most of us are well acquainted with learning in the traditional classroom, but it often takes time and experience to become
successful in an online learning environment. In this month’s Learning Webinar we will answer some commonly heard questions about e-learning (what does asynchronous really mean?), take a look at the types
of e-learning that are available and some of the pitfalls to avoid in order to be a successful e-learner.
