Types Of Sources: Online Module For First Year Writing, Hannah Cabullo, Bekah Dreyer-Rowe

New England Library Instruction Group

We created this Types of Sources module as one of four library modules for all sections of First Year Writing this fall. It is an asynchronous, online module delivered through Canvas, our institution’s learning management system, and consists of some reading, two short videos, and three discussion-board-based activities. The first activity, at the very beginning of the lesson, is intended to get students to start thinking about the characteristics of different types of sources. In the activity, students pick a type of resource (e.g. podcasts, scholarly journal articles, social media, etc.) from a list, answer some questions about it, and …

Mapping Out Your Research: From Topic Selection To A Thesis Statement, Alicia G. Vaandering, Lindsay Lachapelle

New England Library Instruction Group

Co-taught by an instruction librarian and a Writing Center coordinator, this lesson supports history students in exploring a topic and preparing for subsequent research and writing. The first and primary piece of this lesson centers on a topic speed dating activity that encourages students to look beyond the most obvious elements and narratives of their topic and seek nuance and unique perspectives through guided discussion with a peer. This is followed by a class discussion on the role that divergent thinking plays in developing a research question and some time for students to draft their own potential research question. Finally, …

Evaluation Beyond The Binary: Information Literacy For Core 103, Susan Adkins, Bethany Dietrich, Jes Mattera

New England Library Instruction Group

Our team of teaching librarians co-created this lesson as part of Champlain College’s Core 103 course, Navigating Your Information Landscape. Core is Champlain’s version of general education. Core’s four-year curriculum is interdisciplinary education with a focus on critical thinking, collaborative skills, and learning by doing. We will deliver the lesson to all Champlain College first-year students next semester via an online Canvas module. Students will engage with the lesson asynchronously. Librarians will interact with the students throughout their participation in the module.

Our Canvas instructional module focuses specifically on evaluation with an emphasis on the impact of the positionality of …

Creating, Using, And Remixing Online Learning Objects And Multimodal Lesson Plans For Asynchronous And Synchronous Learning, Blake Spitz

New England Library Instruction Group

This presentation covers online teaching practices and technologies for remote (a)synchronous library instruction. While discussing various learning objects - digital surrogates, accessible videos, questionnaires, and interactive spaces - the focus is on hyperdoc style lesson plans combining resources into consolidated and accessible presentations. Hyperdoc lesson plans frame multimodal presentation and learning during classes, remain as legacy teaching objects for asynchronous and repeat learning, are adaptable into several formats for increased accessibility, and, with reuse and remixing, can aid in creating and marketing sustainable teaching programs. Examples of lesson plans, learning objects, activities, technologies, and dual purpose synchronous and asynchronous content …

The Fave Is Problematic: Leaving One-Shots Through A Feminist Approach To Designing An Instruction Program, Nicole Pagowsky

New England Library Instruction Group

The University of Arizona Libraries has a coordinated instruction program for its 13 liaisons on a campus of over 40k. Various iterations of instructional approaches have cycled throughout the years, with one-shots sessions often dominating. Rather than continue the one-shot cycle, the program is intended to center feminist, collaborative approaches with faculty; incorporate critical pedagogy into philosophy and practice; and provide liaisons with more agency to have greater instructional partnerships. This presentation will provide background and discuss planning and documentation of the program, and share successes, challenges, and thoughts for the future.

Data Gathering Kickoff Lesson For Consulting Project, Samantha Porter, Stephanie Farne

New England Library Instruction Group

This is a one-shot instruction session taught to upperclassmen in a Strategic Management Course working on a group mock-consulting project. We introduce them to potential sources of information for the secondary research component of their project including company, industry and market research resources. There are three parts to the lesson plan: 1) a beach ball activity (which we learned about at an ACRL NEC Annual Conference 2018) to introduce them to different information source types, including discussion of information literacy principles; 2) a brief introduction to the database sources; and 3) a group workshop activity.

Placing Students' Questions At The Center: Engaging Students With Archival Materials, Laura Hibbler, Chloe Morse-Harding

New England Library Instruction Group

This interactive session presented a student-centered approach to archival instruction using a modified version of the Question Formulation Technique (QFT). Developed by Dan Rothstein and Luz Santana (2011), the QFT is an instructional technique which guides students in developing questions, improving upon those questions, and identifying which questions they feel are important.

Reimagining The One-Shot - A Student-Centered Approach For Introducing First-Year Students To The Library, Alissa Link

New England Library Instruction Group

This session explored how a traditional library instruction session was adapted to give students a richer and more interactive learning experience leading to the expansion of a collaboration between an introductory biology class and the library. The session detailed the adaption of an existing lesson plan, creation of an asynchronous scavenger hunt, and addition of a student-centered, hands-on assignment.

To encourage self-driven learning, the library instruction session was redesigned to include hands-on, in-class components and an asynchronous scavenger hunt. Both changes were enthusiastically received by the course faculty.

The end result of the adapted curriculum for the introductory biology course …

Reading Scholarly Articles, Hilary Kraus

New England Library Instruction Group

This presentation demonstrated a lesson on effectively reading scholarly research articles which was used with students in a first year English course. In the lesson, students are given a relatively short scholarly article, some guidance in effective techniques for breaking down and understanding this kind of article, and a worksheet to guide their process. When they complete the worksheet, they're given an article on a similar topic from a popular source and use a shorter worksheet to compare the two. The lesson ends with a group discussion. Students get practice, in a supportive environment, in understanding how to parse a …
