This is an amazing development that will provide new, modern, and innovative infrastructure for Ontario public libraries and all library staff to manage professional development, career paths and more.
FOPL and OLA/OLBA are also leading on board development using funding from the Culture Development 
Fund. Building on One Place to Look and Leadership by Design, we expect the first two online learning modules to be released this spring. More modules will follow over the coming years that align with the four year Board cycle.
| Coming April 2015!LearnHQ is the one place to look for public library training, and will offer Ontario public library staff and board members flexible learning opportunities and current professional information. After many months of work, the site is almost ready, and we will “go live” April 1!
Different learning opportunities will be rolled out throughout April, and will include webinars, workshops, and some recorded materials from our partner organizations OLA, FOPL, OLS-North, and SOLS. We’re also excited about our future phases on LearnHQ, which will include online mentorship, personalized learning plans, and opportunities for libraries to develop and share their own online training courses. Look for these features and more in the next year.
We’ll be sending more information how access and use the site in April. In the interim, if you have any questions, please contact Rosanne Renzetti, LearnHQ project lead, at rrenzetti@sols.org, 1-800-387-5765 ext 5145. |
