Library & OERs to Enhance the Online Learning Experience Donna Ziegenfuss, Marriott Library

Why Integrate Library Resources? Why recreate the wheel for finding research resources … we already have them and can help faculty/students find resources more efficiently? There are library staff that can help in your courses – we do workshops, guest lectures, help faculty find research for their teaching and research. We can create a Canvas page to import Use our Library guides Just enroll us as a TA and we can field questions in a discussion forum

We now have library learning outcomes Canvas Page of Teaching Resources Library Instruction Outcomes Planning for Library Teaching Guidelines based on the QCF phases and library values Handouts on Research Strategies Coming Soon!!! OER Library Guide with disciplinary OER links

Available Library Resources Library Guides by discipline (online library research help guide Library liaisons for each discipline Allyson Mower, librarian who is a copy right expert and Fair Use Calculator Course Reserves request to connect library resources to Canvas courses Steaming video to link to courses

Connecting to Canvas From your perspective as IDs around campus: What would be the best way to push library research materials to faculty based on what you know about how faculty use Canvas? Canvas Commons? Equella? Box? Through a library subject guide? On a Canvas Page?

Other Resources: OERs Open Education Resources (OER) – objects, textbooks, courses, videos, modules, etc. created with an open license and in the public domain Created with the purpose of sharing Freely available to use and link to Aggregated in searchable repositories

Advantages of OERs Cost and time saving Variety and flexibility Easy to incorporate Different media formats for teaching diverse student population Fast to incorporate – no development time Disadvantages of OERs Discoverability - lack of awareness of what is out there Time consuming to find No commitment to sustain or update materials you find Inconsistent evaluation of materials Ownership issues
