Abstract

As information professionals connect with and educate their patrons in new ways, instructional design takes a more prominent role in the careers of those working in library and information sciences. Despite this growing need, some MLIS programs do not have courses that emphasize instructional design competencies. This paper describes the development of an Instructional Design course in an MLIS program, and details how the course content is aligned with instructional design competencies. Preliminary feedback from students is also shared. This paper provides a justification and model for the development of an instructional design course in other MLIS programs.
