Large Group Instruction Online Courses Educational Technology Librarians Role Librarian Attitudes Professional Development Higher Education College Libraries Online Surveys Likert Scales Qualitative Research Statistical Analysis From the cutting edge of innovations in online education comes the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), a potentially disruptive and transformational mechanism for large-scale learning. What's the role of librarians in a MOOC? What can librarians learn from participating in a large-scale professional development opportunity delivered in an open environment to illuminate their own practice?

We will share insights gained from active participants in the course as they encounter this emerging landscape.
