The Design And Evaluation Of Interactivities In A Digital Library, Muniram Budhu, Anita Coleman
The Design And Evaluation Of Interactivities In A Digital Library, Muniram Budhu, Anita Coleman
Faculty Publications
The US National Science Foundation has established a program to create a National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). One of the subsidiary NSDL libraries under development is the National Civil Engineering Educational Resources Library (NCERL). The first phase of NCERL is the creation and collection of digital resources in three areas of civil engineering—geotechnical (soil), rock, and water engineering (GROW). The concept of interactivities guides the design, development, and evaluation efforts of the GROW digital collection. This article describes the salient features of GROW, defines and discusses interactivities as an emerging, integral part of teaching and …

Interdisciplinarity: The Road Ahead For Education In Digital Libraries, Anita Coleman
Interdisciplinarity: The Road Ahead For Education In Digital Libraries, Anita Coleman
Faculty Publications
This article reviews the state of education in digital libraries and curriculum planning documents from professional associations in two areas: Library and Information Science; and Computing. It examines suggestions for integration and interdisciplinarity in education for digital libraries curricula using definitions of a discipline, interdisciplinarity, and the transdisciplinary structure of a university in order to discover how such integration may be successfully accomplished. A plan to use learning communities and develop an interdisciplinary curriculum for Knowledge Organization is briefly discussed.
Facilitating And Assessing Asynchronous Learning: Concept Mapping, Digital Libraries, And The Lis Learning Showcase, Anita Coleman
Facilitating And Assessing Asynchronous Learning: Concept Mapping, Digital Libraries, And The Lis Learning Showcase, Anita Coleman
Faculty Publications
The characteristics and nature of asynchronous learning, in a graduate level, core course, Knowledge Structures I, are first discussed in the context of digital libraries, the twenty-first century learner, and a professional program of study. Strategies used to facilitate and assess asynchronous learning such as concept mapping and the Learning Showcase are introduced and examples shown.
