COHORT INFORMATION
The School Library Studies program offers a master's degree for those who wish to become teacher librarians and qualify for the K-12 teacher librarian endorsement in Iowa.
Many of the courses for this program will be offered via Adobe Connect, a desktop video conferencing system. Courses in the fall and spring semesters will meet evenings. Some courses in this program may involve meetings on campus one to three Saturdays each semester.
Access to a high-speed internet connection, a webcam and a headset microphone are required for Adobe Connect. The cost of a webcam and a headset is approximately $35 for each (USB type recommended). Many newer computers include a camera as a standard feature. In addition to real-time meetings over Adobe Connect, students will access course materials and interact using eLearning, a Blackboard learning management system which requires Internet access and a web browser.
