LIS 600 (★0)

Course Description

The required capping exercise for the MLIS degree is an ePortfolio representing examples of the student's course work, leadership and innovation potential, communication skills, and involvement in professional life. Normally students are expected to begin developing their ePortfolio during their second semester. The ePortfolio must be completed and submitted during their final term of coursework. It will demonstrate that the student has met the Program Level Learning Outcomes (PLOs) of the MLIS degree.

Course Objectives

  • To give students an opportunity to synthesize what they have learned in the MLIS program,
  • To demonstrate students' competence in the current digital information environment,
  • To provide students with a representation of their work that supports both academic and employment purposes,
  • To fulfill the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research requirements for the course-based master's degree.
