This lesson was developed for students preparing to enter professional practice who were assigned to write and/or illustrate a technical howto manual on a topic of their choice (how to put on ski boots, draw blood, use a fitness tracking app, etc.).

However, there has been limited evidence to understand informational or behavioral underpinning of the college students’ PHIM activities, …

Library Faculty and Staff Publications
This article addresses how an in-class freewriting activity was designed to inspire learning by addressing student research behavior—all informed by articulated student needs and encounters with published research. First, I will describe the freewriting activity, and then, I will share how students’ needs and published research aided in both its initial creation and a subsequent revision.
