WISE Pedagogy
An initiative to help faculty and doctoral students develop effective online teaching practices within the context of Library and Information Science (LIS) education. WISE Pedagogy seeks to provide LIS instructors with resources and information on successful strategies and guide them through the process of developing their own sound pedagogical practices.
From the Web-based Information Science Education (WISE) Consortium
"Online education has been a growing field over the past decade. As the number of Library and Information Science (LIS) schools offering online courses has increased, so has the number of LIS instructors who are teaching online. The nature of online learning has created its own dilemmas for educators, however: how can instructors successfully teach students without the benefits of face-to-face, classroom interaction?"
"By better preparing instructors for teaching online, we can help to improve the overall quality of online education—and increase our students’ chances of success in future LIS careers."
