15 Library Schools Share Quality Online Courses via WISE Consortium

Fifteen library and information science (LIS) schools share online courses with each other’s students via WISE, the Web-based Information Science Education Consortium. Through the award-winning distance education program, the schools provide students with elective courses that are high quality, cost-effective, and diverse. In the past four years, WISE schools have offered more than 330 courses to more than 550 students. The project received two Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to provide faculty with online training in distance education pedagogy, to recruit partner schools, and to collaborate with LIS organizations to develop graduate and continuing education courses.
