Primary Colors: The Art of Teaching & Learning with Primary Sources in the Li...Adam Beauchamp
The document discusses using primary sources in library instruction. It describes how librarians can scaffold research instruction for students by modeling expertise, providing hands-on exercises using archival materials, and supporting students as they develop skills in comprehending and analyzing primary sources. Feedback from professors and students showed that this scaffolded approach helped students understand how to effectively use primary sources in their research. The librarian advocates expanding this model to other disciplines to improve students' learning.
1. The document summarizes observations from a study of an English reading circle held in Second Life, a 3D virtual world.
2. The reading circle was initiated by Himiko and aimed to provide a more structured English learning experience than typical informal classes on Cypris Chat.
3. Observations found that students initially found the formality stressful but began to appreciate the routine, increased autonomy, and sense of accomplishment it provided compared to informal classes. Students provided positive feedback while suggesting further improvements.
"What is Your Future without the Library?"kslovesbooks
The document summarizes a workshop for faculty on infusing diversity into course curriculums. Librarians reviewed faculty syllabi and recommended additional resources on diversity topics.

Vermont National Partner Workshop - Students and Faculty in the Archives (SAFA)Robin M. Katz
This document summarizes a workshop for faculty on using archives and primary sources in teaching. It provides an agenda for the workshop over two days in May 2014 in Burlington, Vermont. It describes the Students and Faculty in the Archives (SAFA) program, which brought over 1,100 students from three local colleges to the Brooklyn Historical Society archives over four semesters. SAFA aimed to teach document analysis, information literacy, and critical thinking skills using primary sources. It discusses SAFA's pedagogical approach and findings from evaluations that SAFA students performed better and were more engaged than their peers. The workshop provides information to help faculty incorporate archives and primary sources into their teaching.
This document discusses creating classes to promote archival collections and connect with faculty. It provides tips for archivists to get out of the archives and into classrooms by developing reusable lessons showcasing collections. The archivist shares how they reached out to faculty via email to discuss incorporating archival materials. They structured hands-on class periods around specific collections and assessed the impact. Partnering with faculty increased collection usage, campus recognition, and reinforced the archives' role on campus.
Teaching Through Space Design: The Symbolic Power of Academic Libraries in th...Kelly E. Miller
These slides were presented at the CLIC: Cooperating Libraries in Consortium event on April 12, 2016 at Hamline University's Anderson Center in Minnesota.
Abstract of Talk:
Miller discusses the ways in which our beliefs about learning and research — and the role librarians can play in those processes — are symbolized in the ways we choose to plan and design library spaces. Drawing on her experiences at UVA, UCLA and the University of Miami, she will share examples of library space planning and renewal that are creating new opportunities for librarians to engage in new ways with faculty and students. In particular, she will offer practical tips on how library space can embody key concepts in the new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/ilframework) and spur growth and transformation of library reference and instructional services. By teaching intentionally through space design, libraries — and librarians — can increase the significance of their roles in the learning and research processes at their colleges and universities.
The document summarizes Ronald Barnett's discussion on the relationship between being a scholar and being a teacher in higher education. Barnett explores whether academics should view themselves primarily as scholar-teachers, with their scholarship directly informing their teaching, or teacher-scholars, with their pedagogy emerging from their scholarly work. Barnett argues that while individual academics may lean more towards one approach, pedagogical research benefits most from some interplay and relationship between teaching and scholarly work.
The Kean Community was provided an open conversation about the value of interdisciplinarity for teaching, research, and community engagement. Divided into three dialogue segments, the workshop included outlining the development of ID courses and programs at Kean, addressing the conceptual meaning of inter- versus multi- and trans- disciplinarity, and an introduction to the new Interdisciplinary Studies Center as a Kean resource, housed within the College of Liberal Arts. The workshop offered practical, teaching-focused reflections on the methods and strategies that can be used in the course structure, set-up, delivery, and assessment of ID courses and minor programs. Application of the methods can be used to foster future cross-college interdisciplinary work and engage students in the classroom or as part of creative and scholarly works.
This document discusses the importance of curriculum making and outlines some key elements and considerations for developing curriculum. It notes that a curriculum exists at the planned, delivered, and experienced levels. Additionally, a curriculum must remain responsive to changing values and expectations to stay relevant. An effective curriculum incorporates content, teaching strategies, assessment, and evaluation. The document also emphasizes that a curriculum artifact can act as a tangible focal point or inspiration for student inquiry into a topic. Overall, it advocates for curriculum making that creates engaging educational experiences drawing on teacher and disciplinary knowledge.

Nick Calvin_5-6-15_MAT Thesis Project_Defense_FinalNicholas Calvin
This document is a thesis submitted by Nicholas Paul Calvin to Chapman University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Masters of Arts in Teaching degree. The thesis examines developing a curriculum for a 12th grade World Literature course that increases relevance and student connection to the content. It reviews literature on applicable education and Bloom's taxonomy, and analyzes the original curriculum framework against Bloom's cognitive and affective domains. The analysis suggests shifting from a text-centered to theme-centered approach with fewer, deeper units and alternative assessments. The proposed framework is designed for the author's school but could be adapted by other educators seeking a more relevant curriculum.
Our faculty offer students many opportunities both on and off campus through their involvement in events, activities, lectures, and community programs. They have excellent teaching records with high student evaluations and provide personal advising and guidance to students through regular office hours and accurate academic advising. Faculty offer a variety of course options in liberal arts and general education, as well as topics and independent studies.

What is the Cephalonian Method? Fostering Participation in Library OrientationsSt. Mary's University
It is a challenge to get students engaged and interested during library orientations. The Cephalonian Method addresses this engagement problem by giving students a guided way to ask questions about the library and get answers. During a library session., the librarian distribute printed cards with questions about library topics such as materials, services, and facilities. The librarian asks students to use the library website to try and find the answer to their question. A few minutes later, the librarian calls on each student to read their card and describe how they answered the question. There are several benefits to this approach. Some of these benefits are giving the students ownership of learning about the library, giving students to chance to learn from each other, and minimizing librarian burnout.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Challenges, or the road ahead…
Will this success repeat? Was the first time a rarity?
When we teach the class again in the Winter, will we
see the same results?
Can we measure our success? (core DH courses may
require a different ratio of practical skills and content)
How can we scale this approach to include more
courses?
What other forms of engagement can be similarly
fruitful?

Editor's Notes
The major renovation of UCLA’s Young Research Library included the addition of a Click 1reading room (with the reference collection),Click 2 a large conference room (with seats for over 100),Click 3 -- and a cluster spaces referred to as the “Research Commons.” Many of these new spaces were outfitted with large monitors and projectors for displaying digital content. The Research Commons was designed for small groups. Click 4It includes three instructional spaces, Click 5Laptop Lending areaClick 615 group study rooms and Click 620 “pods”
See if we can find a sleeper, or people studying individually – monitor not on.
New library spaces were utilized to great effect. Although initially we hadn’t planned to host courses in the “commons”, we found that modeling the intended use was the most effective way to articulate our vision. Although this is labor and resource intensive, we are convinced that by committing to dedicating our time and resources we get the best results.
