Abstract
The introductory course in an online distance learning program can provide a solid foundation towards achieving a professional identity. The American Association of School Librarians Standards for Initial Preparation of School Librarians (2010) was used to frame the online course design detailed and evaluated in this paper. Content analysis of course introductions and closing reflections from 401 students over eight semesters of coursework determined that the introductory course was establishing a foundation in accordance with those standards, as well as moving students toward upper levels of Miller’s Pyramid. This study clarified the appropriateness of using the AASL Standards as a design framework and Miller’s Pyramid as an assessment tool.
