Nov. 2, 8am-12noon Creating Online Training Using Little or No Money Scott Garrison 4.0 MLA CE available Building on concepts of understanding learning styles and how to organize and ‘chunk’ instructional content for the online environment, this course’s main goal is to teach librarians best practices for creating effective screencasts (video-based online instruction modules) using TechSmith Camtasia and similar tools.

Scott Garrison earned a master's of library science from UCLA. Having worked in health sciences library systems for eleven years, he is currently Assistant Dean for Technology and Systems at Western Michigan University Libraries, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Practice at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science.
