TYPES OF INSTRUCTION IN ACADEMIC
LIBRARIES
 One shot session
 Embedded Librarian (several sessions or team
teaching)
 Online only
 Hybrid - Online and In person

WHY PODCAST INSTRUCTION?
 Instruction can be done over a period of weeks
rather than in just in one session
 Students can view at any time even “on the go”
 Students can review previous instruction
sessions
 Technology more appealing to them

HISTORY RESEARCH CLASS INSTRUCTION
SPRING 2007 (HOW WE FIRST STARTED)
 One shot session with additional screencast
tutorials through Blackboard Vista
 Screencasts helpful, but students needed a way
to ask questions after viewing
 Some students preferred having audio added to
screencasts
 Short answer quizzes would have been better
than multiple choice
