Repackaging and Recycling: Using Information Technology to Enhance Education in the Present and the Future

Abstract

This paper describes a project in which MLS students repackaged the information presented in a conference on Libraries in International Development using the Internet, video, and CD-ROM technologies. Students gained practical experience, melded theory with practice, and produced tangible products to show prospective employers. Faculty gained experience in teaching using new technologies. The authors believe that the education of the future will be exemplified by this blend of learning, doing, reflecting, and creating products to enhance the educational experience of others.
