Librarians are a major part of universities, but they're almost entirely missing from the MOOC conversation. That's a big mistake.

Technology is enabling Higher Education to change more in the next ten years than it has in the past hundred. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are potentially one such technological innovation and have generated a lot of press in the past year.

Online learning is changing the way schools work. From elementary to graduate school to continuing education, online tools are creating new horizons in distance learning and new tools to supplement in-person learning. But what does this mean for libraries? How can we enhance traditional library instruction with online tools? How do we create standards in the face of technology that is constantly changing?
John Shank's insight:
This should be a fun webcast and I hope we can provide some insight that will be useful for both academic, school, and public libraries.

"...serving in a dual role as school librarian and instructional technologist was found to enable involvement in technology-integration leadership." This is the key, but school librarians need better training in order to do so. The current media specialist curriculum requirements do not adequately address instructional design and technology skills.

Each time a teacher or a learner interacts with an Open Educational Resource (OER), these interactions produce data. This "interaction data" includes "artifact data" routinely captured during any online interaction by Web server logs (e.g., users' browsers, users' IP addresses) and "social data" created during Web 2.0-style interactions with resources (e.g., tags, comments, ratings, favorites). Interaction data can serve a number of purposes in a period of increased interest worldwide in OERs quality and uptake. First, interaction data is a valuable source of analytics about OERs and typical audience profiles. Second, combined with metadata, interaction data can enhance searching, ranking, and recommendations of learning resources. However, obtaining this data is not always easy since OERs, in particular, are generally dispersed among different systems where the interactions between resources and their users take place. This paper describes approaches to unlocking, collecting and aggregating this interaction data.
John Shank's insight:
Imagine if more libraries took a leadership role in locating, evaluating, collecting, and providing access to quality OERs. Delete the scoop?
