The ENY\/ACRL Brown Bag Lunch Series, which began in 2007, is an opportunity for librarians within a region to gather informally for lunch, discussion, and networking. This year\u2019s Brown Bag events will focus on Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs).\u00a0 Will this online model develop into a recognized education tool within higher education or is it simply marketing hype? \u00a0Are MOOCs better geared towards educating the public or can they be utilized in emerging online classroom environments?\u00a0 Come join colleagues from your area to discuss the possible benefits and pitfalls MOOCs present to institutions of higher learning.<\/p>\n
Many Thanks to Clarkson University, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), and the University at Albany for generously offering to host this year\u2019s Brown Bag gatherings.<\/p>\n
