In this recent podcast interview from EDUCAUSE, Wake Forest University e-Learning Librarian Kyle Denlinger talks about how the Wake Forest Library experimented with massive, open, online courses (MOOCs) as a new way to sell the concept of librarians as experts. To do this, ZSRx was created; it is a free, four-week, open, online course targeting Wake Forest parents and alumni, designed to help them use the Web more effectively while having fun, connecting with others, and learning about new tools.
