FAQs

Just the FAQs


How does this online learning program work?

This is a self-discovery program which encourages staff to take control of their own learning and to utilize their lifelong learning skills through exploration and PLAY. There will be no classes or workshops offered to support this program. Instead, staff are encouraged to work together and share with each other their discoveries, techniques and "how to's" both in person and through their blogs.


Is this program open to all staff?

We encourage the directors of our libraries to allow all of their staff to participate. Everyone needs to keep learning. Use it or lose it we say.


How do I track my progress for each of the 22 things?

Each staff member that chooses to participate in this program will be required to keep a blog to track their progress.


I've seen the list of 22 things on the website, but how do I know what to do with them?

We've segmented the exercises into weeks which is just a loose guideline. Begin at the beginning and just click your way down the list. That being said, work at your own pace. Some exercises will take longer than others and of course sometimes you have more time to play than others. The point of this is not regimented "homework assignments", the point is to learn and have fun at the same time.


Can I work ahead through the list of items on my own?

Yes, of course. You are encouraged to self-direct your discovery process, especially by working ahead on your own! However, if you do work ahead on some items, be sure to check back on your colleagues' progress and experiences.


What if I need help - who can I call?

Since this program is self-directed and is being completed by many staff members throughout the system simultaneously, you are encouraged to work with colleagues along your discovery journey. If you need more help, feel free to contact Troy or Chris at the Regional Library.
