3. Our Library and Active Learning
Designing real world learning experiences for students!
That means things like practicing searching for books or articles, finding databases, or writing APA citations using given sources.
Things that model real world activities, but in a safe environment where it’s OK to fail.

4. Online learning & Libraries

5. What does Online learning look like to Librarians?
Videos
LibGuides
Guide on the Side tutorials
Quizzes

6. Teaching & Learning Traditional model: Active learning model:
Lecture, “sage on the stage”
Active learning model:
Hands-on
Practice and assessment aligned to learning/behavior outcomes

7. Tutorial design

8. Backward Design Practice Content Learning outcomes Assessment
(simulations, scored quizzes, graded projects)
Content
(videos, readings)
Practice
(games, unscored quizzes)
Backward Design
Some of our learning outcomes:
Recall the research services that are available through Pollak Library.
Recall the kinds of materials offered by Pollak Library.
Make the learning outcomes true to life, or something essential that students need to be able to know or do to move on.

All tutorials (and downloadable source files):

14. Where would you…get help doing research?
You got it right

15. Where would you…get help doing research?
You got it wrong

16. Try again?
And then all of this is repeated on the final quiz, the formal assessment.

17. Assessment is part of the learning process
Provide learning guidance in practice & assessment activities
Allow them to try again
Our learners are adults – they can try it again, or not! Good practice to have open navigation so that they can proceed at their own pace.
The assessment should be air-tight – whether they master the assessment by doing the content & practice, or by taking the final assessment over and over, who cares. They’re learning.
(Ideally final assessment would have a question bank tho)

18. Make it meaningful Learning doesn’t happen without motivation
If students are discouraged, they’re not motivated
Motivate by designing engaging, true-to-life activities

19. Recap Follow Backward Design model
Provide learning guidance in practice & assessment activities
Make it chunky
