Subject: [aaslforum] LIS courses in London this summer


Study in London this summer!
 An exciting opportunity to earn six graduate LIS credits while living in 
central London is being offered by the Florida State University School of 
Library and Information Studies.  Two multimedia production courses, taught by 
Dr. Nancy Everhart from July 3 to July 24, 2012 at the FSU London Centre, will 
use this dynamic city and the surrounding areas as a backdrop for creating 
projects such as podcasts, social networking sites, blogs, short films, and 
digital photography.  No prior experience with these media is required. All 
classes will be field trip based. There are online requirements before and after 
the time in London.
Other pertinent information:
 
·      The two courses being offered are: LIS 5313 -Digital Media: Concepts and 
Production and LIS 5362 – Design and Production of Networked Multimedia. 
Participants must take both courses and they will be focused on application of 
media to libraries and teaching and learning. Students will have the opportunity 
to apply course material to their current work situation if desired, or to build 
a professional portfolio.
 
·      The FSU London Centre is housed in a 17th century building that FSU owns 
in the heart of 'literary London' and within walking distance to the shopping 
district and to the West End theater district.  It is less that one block from 
the British Museum. Students are housed in flats at the Centre or in nearby 
Bloomsbury.
 
·      Day trips to Paris, Stonehenge and Salisbury, and Oxford are included. In 
Paris we’ll visit the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, Louvre, enjoy French 
cuisine and a cruise on the Seine.
 
·      Many field trips are tied to settings of children’s stories like Harry 
Potter, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and Mary Poppins. 
 
·      The Summer Olympics will be taking place in London directly following the 
course.  We will be privy to Olympic preparations and will visit the site. You 
may wish to extend your stay on your own to attend the Olympics.
 
·      Cost is $5745 for both in-state and out-of-state participants.  The fee 
includes all registration and instructional costs for 6 graduate credit hours; 
travel on the Eurostar from London to Paris; all admissions to program 
social/cultural activities; welcome and farewell meals; health insurance; 
international student ID card; T-shirt; full-time academic and administrative 
support.  
 

·      Airfare, other meals, books and supplies are not included in the cost.
 
·      Credits earned in this program may be later transferred into the master’s 
degree program at FSU for students who may be accepted at a future date.  These 
offerings are regularly offered graduate courses.
 
·      Extra time is budgeted for travel on your own.
 
·      Deadline to register is December 7, 2011. ($100 deposit is needed to 
reserve your spot.)
 
·      The program is open to students from other universities who may wish to 
transfer the credits, or to non-students (school librarians, teachers, other 
librarians or IT professionals) who are interested in this exciting summer 
opportunity for professional development CEUs.
 
·      Dr. Everhart and former student participants will present a program, 
“Social Media Professional Development with a British Flair,” at the AASL 
Conference in Minneapolis on October 28 at 1 p.m.
