Information About
Courses
We have enlisted instructors
for our classes based on their expertise in their areas of instruction, as well
as their teaching abilities. Classes are taught asynchronously, using the
Moodle course platform, so participants can do the work as their schedules
allow. Most courses are four weeks in length and cost $175. CEU documentation
is available to participants who need this (1.5 CEUs per 4-week course, a
4-week course requiring 15 hours of work). Discounts are available to
institutions who want to enroll at least five people in a course. Payment can
be by credit card, or through your institution's normal accounts payable
process in response to a billing invoice. We accept enrollments into the first
week of instruction, to accommodate last-minute needs. Visit the website to see
our listings for July and August as well. http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/

In this 6-course certificate
program, you will learn the fundamentals of user experience (UX) and how to
apply user-centered strategies to library websites and beyond. The program
begins by teaching you the key concepts of UX design and how to employ them in
your website projects. Next, you will learn the ins and outs of information architecture:
how to structure and organize your content so that it is both discoverable and
navigable in the easiest way possible. The next two courses will give you the
tools to continually get feedback on your website through usability testing and
other research methods. You will then learn how to better write for the web so
that once your users discover your content, they can both understand it and act
on it. Finally, you will learn how you can create a website content strategy,
so that from that point forward all your content will be useful, usable, and
findable. All together, these courses cover a breadth of topics that will equip
you with the skills necessary to create, manage, and sustain library websites
that provide an excellent user experience. Register for all six courses and get
a 10% discount.
