Web-based Information Science Education (WISE)
Web-based Information Science Education (WISE) is a unique and groundbreaking opportunity in online education.
Leading library and information science schools have extended their reach on a global basis to broaden the educational opportunities available to students. WISE uses advanced online technology to enrich education and foster relationships among students, faculty, and universities.
The vision of this initiative is to provide a collaborative distance education model that will increase the quality, access, and diversity of online education opportunities in library and information science.
By becoming a WISE student, current IST students are able to take selected online courses from a pool of courses offered by the WISE Consortium. For more information, please visit the WISE Consortium Web site.
For an overview of how WISE brings together geographically scattered students, please view this presentation.
