This is a free easy-to-follow online course organised by professional librarians who will show you 23 tools ranging from how to set up a blog (!) to becoming a reflective practitioner. It runs for 23 weeks from 7th May to 8th October. You can sign up quickly - and you're ready to go!
I followed the course last year and really learned a lot. It's a convenient way of experimenting with new ideas. If you missed a week you can always go back to it. You don't need to be a techie either. If you have never used a resource before, e.g. Twitter, you can follow the step-by-step instructions. Further reading is encouraged, and the page gives additional links for each module.
The course offers great advice: "Considering your own brand" (thing 3), for example, is something that I haven't done so far. Dodgy photographs, go away!
The people behind this excellent resource have recently been rewarded for their efforts by becoming runner-up for the The Credo Reference Digital Award for Information Literacy, presented at LILAC 2012.
