The library as a shared learning platform
• Good for 101-level classes• Teaching through
show-and-tell• Students learn from
one another• Unlocking “hidden”
tech competencies

Teaching as a learning activity
Can we crowdfund our MOOCs and classes?

Risks and opportunities of personalization
• Opt-in concierge service
• Data aggregation and trend analysis
• Balancing convenience with privacy
• Empowering users to take control of their data
