2. Adding value to first year student learning with embedded library media Julia Gross, Edith Cowan University

3. Embedding library media media: podcasts/vodcasts can increase student engagement podcasts/vodcasts can enrich student learning blended learning experience embedded ‘just-in-time’ library media collaboration between academic staff and faculty librarians

4. Teacher education case study faculty/library partnership –Unit coordinator Teacher Education K-7 first year students –Library hands-on workshop Teacher Education first year unit –EDL1000 Becoming a Teacher study participants = 323 our hypothesis

5. Our hypothesis The effective utilisation of specific library media, requires that they are strategically placed. By locating media in context, aligned with other learning activities within an academic unit or program, we hypothesised that the media would attract interest and provide data about students’ library literacy and needs

6. Information push approach pilot semester 1, 2009 information push approach support and assist students develop students’ information literacy skills evaluation of these library media

7. Library podcasts/vodcasts Borrowing from the library (audio) Education databases (audio) Developing a search strategy (video) WilsonWeb Education database (video)

8. Media delivery using LAMS Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) LAMS plug in within Blackboard purpose built for online learning student-centred learning

9. LAMS how it works

10. Pod/Vodcast title Total number of students commencing four-part LAMS activity Total number of students completing four- part LAMS activity Percentage of students utilisation (commencement data) n=323 Borrowing 69 41 21.36% Education Databases 5736 17.65% Developing a search strategy 5032 15.48% Searching Wilson Web Education 4527 13.93% Evaluation of LAMS access logs

11. LAMS forum discussion I do use the databases and find that they take up little time and are very easy to use. I would advise others to use them too I haven’t actually used the education database yet, but now feel, after watching the podcast, that when I eventually do, I will know how to use it

12. LAMS forum discussion I particularly liked the consistent use of examples to help us understand the theory behind how to develop an effective search strategy The vodcast helped us create better search strategies which will help us find more quality information and will save us time

13. What did we learn?

14. What did we learn, about using media? embedded library media supports students –asynchronous access –at point of need –sustainable, re-usable –needs updating LAMS ideal medium, not essential

15. What did we learn, our staff? educational partnerships between library and academic staff academic staff bring great student focus need to target academic staff willing to experiment library staff learn new skills

16. What did we learn, about our students? interest in library media from students decreased in interest in more specific library media library awareness in first year TE students useful comments on the Forum good to hear the student voice
