LOEX Conference Proceedings 2012

From Limp Lettuce To Kaleidoscope Salad: Making Your Instruction Sessions Pop For All Patrons With Universal Design For Learning Principles, Christina C. Wray

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2012

Universal Design for learning is an instructional design framework that promotes inclusive classrooms and environments where multiple learners at multiple levels are learning together in a general education setting. The fundamental idea of universal design is that you can teach material in a way that is accessible to ALL learners instead of being designed for a specific ability level. The Universal Design for Learning framework takes it a step further and introduces three key concept. When designing instruction we should:

• Provide multiple means of representation

• Provide multiple means of expression

• Provide multiple means of engagement

Create Your Own Cephalonian Method Adventure: An Interactive Session, Amanda K. Izenstark, Mary C. Macdonald

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2012

The Cephalonian Method has garnered much interest for its possibilities for engaging students in what could be an otherwise one-sided orientation program. This workshop will help attendees determine how and when to incorporate the Cephalonian Method into their sessions, how to discuss the technique with colleagues, and, most importantly, develop a set of Cephalonian Method questions that can be used in orientation and instruction sessions at their home libraries.

The Course Guide: Creating A Culinary Masterpiece “To Go”, Judith Arnold, Veronica Bielat

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2012

Librarians operate in a multimodal environment, where Web 2.0 applications allow us to easily create multimedia materials for students, yet course guides frequently follow the print pathfinder model of merely listing resources. In this interactive workshop, attendees will ”cook up a recipe” to transform online course guides into dynamic 24/7 learning tools. Following discussion on best practices for visual design, review of course resource materials, and assignment analysis, we will apply design and pedagogical principles to create a framework, using the LibGuides model, for a dynamic course-specific guide that enhances learning as it supports the goals of a specific assignment.

Robust (And Backward) Instructional Design For An Online Information Literacy Course, Brian D. Leaf

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2012

Online information literacy courses have been taught for credit at The Ohio State University for over a decade with only minor or technology-driven changes. A small team of librarians within the Teaching & Learning Unit overhauled the course using the latest research and emerging trends in information behavior to create a more engaging, evidence-based class. Preparation for and development of the new course also included workshops and consultations with various departments on campus, including the University Center for the Advancement of Teaching, the Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing, and the Digital Union (a learning technology department). In …

Developing An Online Credit-Bearing Information Fluency Course: Lessons Learned, Rebecca Blakiston, Yvonne Mery, Leslie Sult

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2009

This presentation will focus on the University of Arizona Libraries’ development and implementation of its first online one-credit information fluency course, the Skillful Researcher. This course is taught entirely online and has allowed the Library to reach new students who have little experience with the Library and its resources. The presentation will be aimed at librarians who are currently planning their own online or credit-bearing courses. Attendees will learn how we developed the course from its inception to its evaluation and how they can avoid the same mistakes and pitfalls in their own development.

Expectation Management: Breaking Ground For A New E-Learning Librarian Position, Julie O'Keeffe, Ed Sanchez

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008

If your organization has batted around the idea of hiring an e-learning librarian, two sets of issues may come into play, as framed in questions below.

First Set: Who does an e-learning librarian report to? How does their role differ from other instructional designers on campus? Do they work at the reference desk? 9-5? How much do they contribute to projects in other library departments? Is an MLS important?

As we know, the environment for electronic-based learning changes rapidly. This makes creating a position for an e-learning librarian difficult, given that the job requirements and projects can morph from year …

Learning Infused Libraries: Honest Talk About What It Really Takes To Create A Learning Commons, Laura Baker

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008

The Learning Commons concept integrates technology, library services, and other academic support to create a more holistic learning environment. In 2006, the ACU Library partnered with eight other academic entities on campus to transform the library’s role in student learning. Using photos, results from user surveys, and honest talk, we will share insights into how we changed our physical space, our educational role, and our self concept.

Our library conducted user surveys to discover how student learn and how faculty teach. We will first present results from these surveys that guided us in understanding what patrons need in a learning …
