Library Juice Academy Courses
Library Juice Academy (LJA) courses are taught asynchronously (meaning that you don’t have to be online at any particular time), and involve reading assignments, offline activities, and class participation. LJA uses an online course management system. We use Moodle, an easy-to-use open source platform with few technical requirements beyond an internet connection and standard browser interface.
Course topics vary greatly and include everything from collections and assessment to diversity and web development.
