What our students are saying about their online learning experience:

"The coursework and pace were well designed, and instructions were clear. The 
activities were meaningful and applicable to everyday school librarian work."

"The sharing on the discussion board has given me a lot of great ideas for the new 
year."

"... at a time when our district has created stress by cutting positions, this 
course has given me a feeling of renewal."

"I liked hearing from other people in my field and learning what they have found to 
be successful. I actually couldn't sleep one night because of all the ideas I had 
floating around in my head!"
