We participated very actively in the bottom-up project, which is Slovak National strategy for Open Science adopted by the Slovak Government in 2021. The Strategy for years 2021 – 2028 …

Using Contemporary Practice-Based Approaches To Generate Data For Guiding The Design Of Information Literacy Learning Environments - A Preliminary Study Of Engineering Students, Antti M. Rousi, Virpi Palmgren, Kirsi Heino

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Abstract

Introduction. This preliminary study examines the application of contemporary practice-based approaches to generate data for guiding the design of information literacy learning environments.

Method. This preliminary study was conducted by interviewing three engineering students who were participating at the Tools for master’s thesis course arranged by Aalto University Library’s Otaniemi Campus Library. The interview’s structure was two-fold, as it first sketched out the participant’s master’s thesis practices through Schatzki’s site ontology and secondly examined the perceived value of different information literacy learning tasks on the latter.

Results. The master’s thesis practices of the interviewees were networked …

An Evaluation Of A Collaborative, Blended Learning Course For Staff At Monash University Library, Steven Yates, Lisa Smith

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Monash University Library contributes to learning and teaching within the curriculum through its information research and learning skills programs. The Library is aligned with the University’s digital education strategic goals; and thus considers the development and delivery of e-learning resources for blended and online learning environments an important strategic undertaking. With complex and dispersed Library, faculty and cross-campus activities, increasing e-learning staff development opportunities is challenging. This paper reports on the second iteration of a blended learning staff development course designed and conducted by the Library. A pragmatic approach was taken, using predominantly social constructivist learning and a mixed methods …
