Online Courses ACRL's online courses and webcasts<http://www.ala.org/acrl/webcasts> and designed to meet the demands of your schedule and budget. ACRL e-Learning courses are multi-week, online courses delivered through the Moodle platform. Course activities are primarily asynchronous and require approximately three to five hours a week.
September 2013 Helping Non Innovators through Innovation: Managing Change<http://www.ala.org/acrl/elearningmanagingchange> (September 16-October 6, 2013) Change can be difficult to deal with in any workplace, but the fast pace of change in libraries is particularly difficult. Designed for library supervisors who will need to lead staff (at any level) through change, learn about the potential impact of the stress of change, and how to properly prepare others and one's self for change. October 2013 On the Road to Information Literacy Success: Putting Students in the 'Drivers' Seat<http://www.ala.org/acrl/informationliteracysuccess> (October 7-25, 2013) This course will demonstrate how to use ACRL IL Standards, learning outcomes, assessment strategies, and different teaching styles to support students in defining their own journey to success. This course is relevant to instruction librarians because it presents a variety of engaging and interactive activities as well as opportunities to experience and create active learning strategies for IL teaching. Creating Accessible Video Tutorials<http://www.ala.org/acrl/accessibletutorials> (October 14-November 1, 2013) Learn about the types of accessibility needed for video tutorials, as well as why accessible videos can benefit everyone. While other seminars and classes have covered creating tutorials, accessibility is usually either not covered or not covered in detail. Providing accessible tutorials benefits not only individuals with disabilities, but also ESL learners and mobile users. AND...... ACRL e-Learning Frequent Learner Program ACRL created our e-Learning Frequent Learner Program to help academic and research librarians maximize their professional development dollars during these challenging economic times. Now, individuals or groups that register for three ACRL e-Learning courses or Webcasts will receive complimentary registration to one additional course or Webcast of equal or lesser value to the lowest cost-paid e-Learning opportunity. Individual participation during webcasts under a group registration does not accrue individual credit toward the frequent learner program. Repeat group registrations for specific entities (libraries, consortia, chapters, etc) are eligible for a complimentary group webcast registration per the aforementioned restrictions. Enrollment in the Frequent Learner Program is automatic for all individuals and groups registering for ACRL e-Learning courses and Webcasts after Sept. 1, 2009. No additional signup is required. Complimentary e-Learning must be redeemed within 18 months of the first course or Webcast. Frequent Learner Program rewards are only redeemable for ACRL e-Learning opportunities and have no cash value. ACRL e-Learning courses and Webcasts attended prior to Sept. 1, 2009, are not eligible for the Frequent Learner Program. To redeem your complimentary e-Learning course, simply call (800) 545-2433 and choose option 5 to speak with a representative from ALA Member and Customer Service. Once your eligibility has been verified, you will be enrolled in the course of your choosing based on compliance with the aforementioned restrictions. Enrollments are non-transferable. Complimentary enrollments may only be applied to ACRL e-Learning events (webcasts and courses) and cannot be used toward conference sessions, pre-conference sessions, or other ALA Division distance learning opportunities.
