The Western Regional Section of the Library Association of Ireland is pleased to announce that a new free online course for information professionals will begin this September.
Rudaí 23 is an online, self-directed course based on the 23 Things program, delivered by a collaborative group of librarians and educators, in association with the Western Regional Section of the Library Association of Ireland, and The Library Association of Ireland.
The program consists of 23 modules which will be delivered free and online via our website. The course is divided into 4 sections with some optional modules. Participants can choose which sections to complete and earn up to 5 digital badges:
Visual Communicator, Online Networker, Critical Thinker, Engaged Professional and CPD Champion.
The course will cover current issues and trends in the information profession as well as the use of web technology to promote your library and network with your peers.
Participants must complete a series of simple tasks such as learning how to use different presentation software like PowToon, or maybe you would like to know more about collaboration tools such as Basecamp or how to design the best conference poster. Blogging and personal reflection is a core part of this course and participants will be required to complete 1 reflective blogpost for each digital open badge.
The course is certified by the Library Association of Ireland.
This course will be of interest to information professionals who would like to learn more about using web tools for professional development and promoting your library.
