ACRL invites proposal submissions for our ACRL e-learning Program. Submissions are being accepted for live webcasts and asynchronous online courses. The full text of the Call for Proposals is online.
e-Learning Formats
Webcasts: ACRL webcasts usually run 90 minutes in length, including time for audience Q&A. Webcasts are offered live on the Elluminate online meeting platform. Presenters can use PowerPoint, online polls, white board, and other interactive tools during the webcast. Participants can interact with the presenters via text-based chat or audio. ACRL offers e-Learning webcast presenters a 10% royalty of webcast fees, less the Elluminate vendor fees, split between the presenters.
Online Courses: ACRL online courses are primarily asynchronous events offered over the course of three or four weeks. Online courses are offered on the Moodle platform. Courses should include weekly readings, discussion questions, assignments, and/or chat sessions. ACRL provides $1,000 for content development for new multi-week courses, as well as a royalty of 10% of the course registration fees, split between the presenters, each time the course is offered.
