Education Model

Web-based Information Science Education (WISE) is a collaborative distance education model that increases the quality, access and diversity of online education opportunities. The WISE Consortium is a group of graduate Library and Information Science (LIS) programs founded on three pillars: quality, pedagogy, and collaborations (Montague & Pluzhenskaia, 2007). This chapter outlines the approach to achieving these three pillars and the assessment mechanisms used to measure the consortium’s success. Highlights include WISE Pedagogy, the administrative division of WISE dedicated to providing faculty development resources for online education, and WISE+, an initiative that supports partnerships enabling WISE schools and LIS associations to develop courses together suitable for graduate credit and continuing education. While the WISE consortium is specific to LIS education, the model could be applied more broadly to other disciplines.

Results are presented from a national survey of fluid mechanics courses taught in Mechanical Engineering Departments of U. S. institutions for the academic year 1975–1976. The respondent sample included 91 institutions of widely varying character. Data from five groups of fluids courses are discussed: required undergraduate courses including basic and advanced level; advanced level undergraduate elective courses; graduate level courses; and continuing education courses. Primary educational features reviewed include subject area, textbook used, relative emphasis between theory and applications, credit hours, relative use of multiple course sequence, and amount of laboratory instruction. Guidelines for future surveys are also included.

Education Model

This chapter details how the South Central Kansas Library System (SCKLS) moved from a traditional continuing education model toward a needs-based model. The needs assessment process is detailed, as well as the process for implementing and managing this major change in professional development delivery. Analysis and assessment of the change in model will be presented. Practicalities and future directions will be discussed in order to provide direction to other interested institutions.
