A Fan WPA Education

Is an online Masters Degree as well received as a standard Masters? I want to get a MS in Library Science.?

I have an undergraduate degree in English, and several graduate level credits in English and Education. I am a former public school English teacher. I want to pursue a Masters in Library Science, but will be residing in an area of Pennsylvania where there will not be a graduate program within commutable distance. Unfortunately due to work and commitments within my family, I will be unable to relocate to attend a university, and obtaining a Masters Degree Online is my only option. I don’t want to waste money on a degree that will not be marketable. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best online Masters Degree Programs for Library Science? There seems to be a large selection of Masters programs online.

The MLIS is one of those degrees that’s ideally suited for online study. The degree will be evaluated based on the reputation of the awarding college and not whether it was online or in-the-seat. DL MLIS holders are not as uncommon as online degree holders in some other fields.

Also, you really need the program to be both regionally accredited and ALA accredited to get maximum utility.

Usability Evaluation of Online Learning Programs $125.7 Successful use of information and communication technologies depends on usable designs that do not require expensive training, accommodate the needs of diverse users and are low cost. There is a growing demand and increasing pressure for adopting innovative approaches to the design and delivery of education, hence, the use of online learning (also called Elearning) as a mode of study. This is partly due to the increasing number of learners and the limited resources available to meet a wide range of various needs, backgrounds, expectations, skills, levels, ages, abilities and disabilities. The advances of new technology and communications (WWW, Human Computer Interaction and Multimedia) have made it possible to reach out to a bigger audience around the globe. By focusing on the issues that have impact on the usability of online learning programs and their implementation, Usability Evaluation of Online Learning Programs specifically fillsin a gap in this area, which is particularly invaluable to practitioners.

Library Programs Online by Peters, Thomas A. Edition , 1 $42.49 Meet your library patrons where they increasingly live and work-online. This guide introduces you to the exciting possibilities online programs offer, and shows you how to set up online programs in your library-whether one-time stand-alone or half-day, full-day, or multi-day workshops and conferences. Public programs-from lectures, demonstrations, and interviews to book discussions and story hours can be delivered in real time (live) primarily over the web, utilizing a variety of interactive communication tools, including voice-over-IP, text chatting, and co-browsing. Furthermore, online programming can be used for district-wide staff training. The author explains how to integrate pre-recorded components of a program into a live, online public program; shows how to extend the reach and appeal of online public programs with podcasting and audiorecordings; and explains how to use voice-over-IP and video-over-IP to enhance online programs. In addition to outlining the costs of staring and operating a public online program, Peters also provides cost recovery methods and scenarios. Online public programs can extend your library’s reach into the service population, grab the attention of some early adopters and opinion leaders in the community you serve, and convey to patrons and other libraries that your library is moving boldly into the digital future. Plus, many people are more likely to attend an online library program than an in-library public program. And because online programs are easily recorded and redistributed on demand, your library gets more bang for each buck it invests in its public programming outreach. Distance education programs in higher education, corporate and governmental training efforts, and other sectors of society have become commonplace, but this is the first guide to focus on how libraries (public, academic, school, and special) and library-related organizations (associations, consortia, etc.) can and are developing exciting online programs for library users and librarians.
