[LIS-Forum] National Seminar: QAALISE-2005 at Annamalai University, Tamilnadu (Dec 29-30, 2005)

[JK Vijayakumar]

Dear Colleagues,

 

            It gives us great pleasure to cordially invite you to the national seminar on Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Library and Information Science Education (QAALISE) through Distance Learning to be held in Annamalai University on 29th & 30th December 2005. For more details kindly have a look at http://qaalise.netfirms.com/

 

            In the context of rapid technological change and shifting economic conditions, the education system is challenged with providing increased educational opportunities without increased budgets. Many educational institutions are answering this challenge by developing distance education programmes. 

 

            Open and distance learning now has crucial part to play in education all over the world in this century. The drive to raise levels of educational achievement and need for lifelong learning imply an inexorably increasing demand for more learning opportunities. 

 

            Distance Education Programmes can provide adults with a second chance at College education, reach those disadvantaged by limited time, distance or physical disability and update the knowledge base of workers at their places of employment. Library and Information Science programmes are professional in nature which are offered through  distance mode by many distance education institutions. Many educators ask, is distant learners in LIS learn as much as student receiving traditional face-to-face instruction. Research comparing distance education with traditional education indicates that teaching and studying at a distance can be as effective as traditional instruction when quality assurance and accreditation with appropriate technologies are adopted.

 

            To assess the extent of quality assurance, adoption of the norms and standards, accreditation and application of information technology in LIS programmes offered through distance mode, the topic of the seminar QAALISE 2005 is conceived.

 

            We are eagerly awaiting for your participation in the seminar. Your presence will actually result in success of the seminar. More details about the Seminar, Call for papers, Registration form and Seminar Brochure are available at QAALISE Website at http://qaalise.netfirms.com/

 

Looking forward to see you.
