Together, we’d like to thank everyone who expressed interest in a second iteration of the #hyperlibMOOC. We believe our MOOC filled an interesting gap in the MOOC phenomenon by providing community-centered, large-scale learning specifically for library and information science professionals. Our reflections, both scholarly and personal, show that this experience was formative for ourselves as scholars and as a teachers. But more importantly, we recognize that the #hyperlibMOOC provided a new, engaging way for our students to continue their professional development and lifelong learning.
At this time, we will be unable to offer another iteration of the #hyperlibMOOC. This is due in part to logistics and professional requirements on our part. But rest assured, it is our intention to revive the MOOC here shortly. In fact, we have applied for a Knight Foundation grant to offer and expand the #hyperlibMOOC to reach more professionals and teach more topics related to the hyperlinked library.
Please continue to check back at the #hyperlibMOOC, the Twitter account, and at SJSU’s School of Information MOOC page. For information about research results regarding the #hyperlibMOOC, see Michael’s dedicated page at Tame The Web.
Many thanks,
Kyle Jones & Michael Stephens
