ZSRx: A (mini) MOOC for Web Literacy
0 likes4,951 views
The first of its kind, ZSRx was a MOOC-like course built and facilitated by librarians. Using free tools and third-party content, we created a web literacy course that attracted more than 700 participants, mostly parents and alumni in the Wake Forest University community. We see great potential for libraries offering open online courses to their communities as platforms for informal learning of critical 21st century literacies.

- 50. Interesting sharing. Thankyou. I have been moving about the course in a somewhat random pattern, but it is awonderfullearningexperience. And it is stimulating sharing ideas at home and at work. Thankyou.
- 51. Another thing Ive learned so far that has made me gladIsignedup was that Google tends to produce Q&A links when you type a question. Ive never liked searching the actual question and have preferred searching on the important terms of the question... NowIknowwhyIdontlikethe resultsasmuch.
- 52. Wow,thatisgreat! (neither my husband, my co-workers, nor several of our student-workers knew about this feature either).
- 53. Ilearnedsomuch from the videos and articles in Module 1. Most of my frustrations in doing searches are nowcleartome from what I learned about how searches are executed.
- 54. Becoming exposed to even more has made my searching even more manageable. Working in the medical profession and having to search things I often come back with a lot more hits than desired or needed. Now I have greatly minimized the information that comes back to me when searching. PRICELESS!
- 55. I learned how to filter search results by date - thataloneisworththeprice ofadmission!
