Editor's Notes
- BOTHWho are we?-basic intros and what areas we work withSet the stage – we often talk about teaching techniques that assume novice-level users, like first year studentsInformation literacy as a foundational skill, we often think about first year studentsQuick old-fashioned poll – how many work w/ first years and how many w/ upper levelsQuestion 1: What differences do you see between first-year and upper-level students? (TPS)Question 2: Why is it important to talk about upper-level information literacy instruction? (TPS)
- JENNYSetting up our framework/progressionIt’s a cycle b/c it never ends, you should be using assessment/eval to inform future outreach/design/teaching
- LYNDAIntro-just talk about how important communication and outreach isCommunicating worth is important, especially if you have a visible and successful first year program, because faculty may assume that students know how to do research Question 3: What kinds of outreach do you do? (TPS)Collaborating on assignments-Best practices: be proactive rather than passive have examples ready that have worked with other similar classesexplain that you want the assignment to fit best with the resources that your library has through assignment development assistance can be when faculty realize they need sessions or tutorials
- JENNYTalk about addie design processWriting smart outcomesTiered outcomes
- LYNDATeach for their past and their futureCompetencies – good for those new to field/needing refresher
- Lynda with a bit of JennyDiff types of info: not just live in a scholarly and popular worldCall out diff types of information students will deal with and write on boardWhat activities do you have to work with this?KIN 711 – goal: teach practitioners how to do research for evidence-based practiceWorksheet and consults; pubmed and mesh headingsMST 407 – goal: teach students to find sections of the US Code and related cases without much legal knowledgeteam teaching; what knowledge do they bring?; lexisnexisPSC 355M & 302 – goal: teach numeric databases and some basic numeric concepts (graphing, etc)Concepts and resources; citing dataQuestion 4: Think of an upperclass you taught; something that went well and something not so well; why did it go well? What could you have changed for the not so well?
