LEEP Online Education

LEEP Online Education

LEEP Online Education is a distance learning program offered by the UIUC Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The LEEP program provides students who are not able to relocate to the Urbana-Champaign area a means to attend University's highly regarded ALA-accredited Master of Library and Information Science program.

History

The acronym LEEP originally stood for Library Education Experimental Program. Founded in 1995, the program has since firmly established itself and is no longer considered experimental. [Catherine A. Thompson, [http://www.nelibraries.org/200606/200606-thompson.htm|"LEEPing to an Advanced Library School Degree,"] New England Libraries, Vol. 2, No. 5 (June, 2006)]

Coursework

LEEP differentiates itself from other distance learning library and information science (LIS) programs through the integration of a brief periods of on-campus participation, Internet instruction, and independent learning. Off-campus students attend classes via the school's Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VIS). Within the LEEP program, it is said that LEEP might stand for Leigh Estabrook's Excellent Program.
