Abstract: This poster presents UCD Library’s two eLearning ‘showcase environments’ on our website; the
Learning Support Menu space geared towards academic staff and the Supporting Your Learning space
aimed at students. These online spaces were devised to promote a suite of varied, self-paced, eLearning
objects created by the Library eLearning team using Articulate Storyline and Captivate. These eLearning
objects have a strong branded identity, are arranged by need and are intended to complement our face-to-face
training sessions. All design decisions were “user centred”. A prioritized framework was developed based on
identifiable needs culminating in a creative and successful in-house production of eLearning objects. This in
turn has raised our profile as eLearning Librarians within the university. We are now exploring the possibility of
Libguides as a new intuitive discovery platform for both.

impetus to explore a
new approach with
less staff]
