The WISE (Web-Based Information Science Education) Consortium will offer its sixth annual pre-conference workshop addressing best practices in distance education at the January 2010 conference for the Association for Library & Information Science Education (ALISE) in Boston.

This workshop will be open to all interested conference attendees, especially doctoral students and new online instructors. All attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about the pedagogy of online collaboration in the context of library and information science education.

Keys to Successful Online Collaboration will be highly participatory and feature rotating stations of presentations and breakout discussion groups. Workshop topics will address pedagogical issues in the use of collaborative learning activities in online courses:

1. Demonstration of specific collaborative technological tools (i.e., wikis, blogs, social media networks, synchronous communication software, file sharing tools, etc.)
2. Presentation of effective pedagogical practices for facilitating online collaborative activities
3. Breakout discussion on implementation of collaborative learning goals

Workshop attendees will be able to select the topics of particular interest and move from one station to the next at regular intervals. The workshop will conclude with a full-group discussion of the topics presented, and also the future of collaboration in online library and information science education.

Call for Presenters (it’s not too late to submit a proposal!)
