Guys! Syracuse University’s iSchool has begun offering these ‘massive open online courses.’ They are free courses that run for approximately a month. Anyone is able to register and take them. You can choose how much to participate—since there’s no cost, there’s no pressure.
If you complete all the course requirements, you earn a certification recognizing that you completed the course. If you wish to apply for credit for the course—say, if you’re pursuing a degree—then you can gain a tuition discount for doing so.
‘New Librarianship Master Class’ is the iSchool’s second MOOC offering. The first was an entry-level course in data science.
