Video Conferencing to Bring the World to your ClassroomKim Moore
Presented at the FLAG (Foreign Language) conference on March 5, 2016, this presentation shares with teachers a variety of different platforms that are available for enhancing their classroom lessons. Language acquisition is just a part of the story for students trying to learn another language. It is also critical that they develop an understanding and an appreciation of that culture, along with being able to see the similarities and differences that exist. In order for students to truly develop a global connection, they must have experiences that immerse them into the language, culture, and people.

Video Conferencing to Bring the World to your ClassroomKim Moore
Presented at the FLAG (Foreign Language) conference on March 5, 2016, this presentation shares with teachers a variety of different platforms that are available for enhancing their classroom lessons. Language acquisition is just a part of the story for students trying to learn another language. It is also critical that they develop an understanding and an appreciation of that culture, along with being able to see the similarities and differences that exist.

In 2006 a group of library and information studies academics and experts from three European universities – Oslo University College in Norway, Tallinn University in Estonia and the University of Parma in Italy - began talks and consultations to develop a Master programme to impart knowledge and skills in digital libraries. The outcome was the formation of the two-year International Master in Digital Library Learning (DILL) programme. After taking in the first batch of 18 students from 16 different countries across the world in 2007, DILL has continued to train different cohorts of varying numbers in the last decade. In this paper, I identify the various stages in DILL’s developmental process following a community of practice framework by (Wenger and Snyder, 2000). Data was drawn primarily from literature including the various DILL websites from the different consortia institutions, combined with a reflection of my own experience of the DILL programme and activities. My analysis of the DILL programme is mainly based on the activities of its first two years, as I was a member of the first batch of DILL students. However, my continuous association with key contacts in the programme also offered useful observations that provided data for this study. While DILL was planned to primarily provide education for the Digital Librarian new professional, specific details of the programme also offer extensive knowledge in other areas including understanding of innovative digital services, interactive digital exhibitions, gamification techniques (such as topic maps), etc. There was also understanding of skills in knowledge management and human resource management, which are still relevant for emerging trends in modern global education and digital information environment. The programme is rich with expert local professors and numerous visiting lecturers who made DILL a unique learning experience.
DILL programme is developing into a virtual community of experts who collaborate from various locations of the world to discuss and share ideas not only on digital library related issues, but also other issues that can enhance the development of members within the community and beyond. DILL provides a useful model for other disciplines where experts seek to collaborate to develop consortia programmes to advance knowledge in their area. The fast developing digital technologies and changing library and information studies environment have resulted in new competencies and skills required of modern digital librarians. As DILL steps into its second decade, the programme may be more effective if its curriculum content is targeted to evenly assess the professional knowledge, generic skills and specific personal competencies of today’s digital librarians.
