DLF colleagues,

 

I am reaching out today to ask for your collaboration and participation in DATALIS™ an innovative part of the IMLS funded LEADING professional education program that seeks to transform our approach to professional education.

 

Over the next few months via a series of online design sessions we will explore this topic and ideate potential future scenarios to inform the future of professional education.  At our LEARN event on January 24 we begin this process using a design thinking approach - allowing us to understand emerging trends and user needs so we can explore the future of continuing professional education together.           

 

Research has shown that there are a wide range of learning modalities that inform continuing professional education and that learners use these opportunities to advance down career paths meaningful to them.   DATALIS™ seeks to identify pathways to enable this upward trend, enhancing your employee’s skills and career prospects in the LIS field.

 

Agenda (January 24):

• Welcome and overview of design thinking approach to innovating professional education
• Panel discussion focusing on professional education
• Exploration of problem space and available information (Design thinking activity)
• Wrap up and upcoming workshops

 

Secure your spot today and be part of an event that sets the stage for groundbreaking ideas and career advancement in LIS.

 

Thank you,

 

Erik
