“…Early in this article I discussed the change of teaching/learning style to learner-centered one. More authors have discussed this issue (McCarthy-McGee, 2000;Dringus and Scigliano, 2000). If these discussions are not convincing, there are several comparative studies revealing similar results for IL classes in classroom and those online (Holman, 2000;Kaplowitz and Contini, 1998;Germain et al, 2000).…”

Purpose -To demonstrate how there is an irreversible momentum towards the adoption of online modes of delivery for library instruction, a process which will have distinctive benefits in the promotion of enhanced levels of information literacy (IL). Design/methodology/approach -The author uses case study and other literature, plus examples from personal professional practice to build an argument. Findings -The momentum towards "cyber-delivery" is inevitable and is driven by a variety of factors, which can be understood as either external or intrinsic to the arena of IL. External factors include the pressure to find the most effective educational approaches to train students to use tools such as Google appropriately (virtual formats are best to deal with virtual challenges); intrinsic factors include the innate suitability of online IL for encouraging independent learning and student-centred education.Research limitations/implications -The research technique consists of a dualistic analysis of dynamic factors driving the digital library movement towards online delivery of IL: this has the potential to be extended to other LIS contexts and tested for robustness and relevance. Practical implications -The paper shows how the LIS practitioner can better understand the relevance of courseware-based models of IL delivery for their user education practice. Originality/value -An insightful summary and coherent analysis of a range of disparate trends in digital library developments helps provide a coherent overview of a fast-developing aspect of the current LIS world.

“…Online instruction is not a simple electronic replication of classroom teaching. It involves a shift in teaching/learning philosophy from objectivism to constructivism (McCarthy-McGee, 2000;Dringus and Scigliano, 2000;Dringus, 1999). Online teaching/learning is learner-centered.…”

“…Several authors have argued that online education supports a more learner-centric approach to education than traditional lectures, because students become more responsible for their learning and need to play an active role in the learning process (Berlanger & Jordon, 2000;Dringus, 2000). Some also argue that an online setting facilitates a greater level of student-to-student and student-to-faculty interaction where shyness, timidness, and fear of embarrassment tend to suppress interaction in a traditional classroom (Dringus & Scigliano, 2001;Smith et al, 2000). Flexibility and convenience also have been cited as advantages of online education and, therefore, ideally suited for the delivery of part-time programs aimed at adults in full-time employment (Petrides, 2002;Schrum, 2002).…”

Increasingly, universities and other educational institutions are supplementing their traditional campus-based programs with online ones. This paper describes how Universitas 21 Global (U21G), a new online university, has approached the task of teaching e-business as a subject in its online MBA program. Aspects of the pedagogy used by U21G are outlined and the way in which the pedagogy has been applied to the design of the courseware and the student learning experienced is described.
