Second Block LIS 397 Course on Emerging, Interdisciplinary Technologies
Beginning Tuesday, October 16, 2018, the MSU Libraries will offer a one-credit course on several emerging technologies, including virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics, and 3D printing. The goal of the course is to help students develop practical skills and fundamental knowledge regarding these emerging technologies, which promise to fuel new interdisciplinary work in higher education, business, and industry. It is part of the new badging and microcredentialing initiative that the MSU Libraries is launching. Our microcredentialing program is just one of many efforts at MSU that foster workforce development in Missouri, in order to position the state’s economy for continued growth and development. A team of employees of the MSU Libraries conceived, designed, developed, and will deliver the course, including Rachel Besara, Joshua Lambert, Jan Johnson, Jir Shin Boey, and Sue Reichling. The course will meet in Room 206 of Duane G. Meyer Library for eight weeks, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 to 2:50 p.m. Central Time.
