What does it take to offer massive, broadcast information literacy instruction that captures both the art and the science of the research process? In the past year, Google built and ran two Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on search and research skills: Power Searching With Google and Advanced Power Searching. Our Google Search educator shares the challenges and lessons learned from creating the content for these global information-literacy trainings. Learn about the experience from the point of view of several participants, and explore the opportunities massive-scale education tools offer for the library profession.
