Escape! Using an escape room game to teach library resources.
•
1 like•82 views
The document describes an escape room game developed by a university library to teach first-year experience (FYE) students about library resources. The previous activity of an "Amazing Library Race" was outdated, so the library created escape room games that were more relevant, interactive, competitive, and fun for students. Over 750 FYE students participated in 36 class visits where they worked in teams to "escape" from the escape room and save the library from sabotage by a rival university. Initial feedback from students and faculty was positive, and early results from a post-survey indicate the escape room approach improved information retention compared to the previous activity.

The document summarizes the development of an online information literacy resource called "Online Information Literacy with Percy the Penguin" aimed at sixth form students. It provides background on growing demand for information literacy sessions. It describes the thinking behind creating an online resource using a lighthearted comic approach. It outlines the collaborative process used to design, develop, evaluate and improve the website which includes interactive games and activities to teach important skills like evaluating sources, plagiarism, and referencing. Feedback was gathered from teachers, students, and a web designer. Future additions are planned based on user feedback.UL LibGuides
The library migrated their subject guides from old portals to LibGuides over 6 months with help from a co-op student. They developed guides for every academic department with common front pages and tabs. This improved the online presence of subject librarians. They have continued maintaining and expanding the guides with the co-op student's manual. The migration to LibGuides 2 was done following Springshare's guidelines to retain customizations. Database assets now simplify updating the A-Z list across guides. Overall, LibGuides 2 is easier to maintain though customization options are more limited than previously.

The Open University's Live Engagement Team teaches information literacy skills to students through a variety of approaches. They created subject showcase videos featuring librarians introducing resources for different subjects. While cost-efficient to produce, the showcases required significant staff time and the project was put on hold due to delays. The team also piloted early morning and late evening training sessions based on student personas and feedback. Evening sessions had good attendance and were added to the schedule, while early sessions had low turnout and were suspended. Student feedback on expanding session times was positive. Both interventions aimed to increase information literacy and student satisfaction at low cost, but evaluating effectiveness ongoing is important.

UCC Library launched its Library Learning Resources course on Canvas (the University’s VLE) at the start of the 2020 academic year. The course consists of seven, self-directed interdisciplinary modules which offer teaching to all students on information searching and Library resources. This talk outlines the key learnings from a 2021 summer project funded by the University’s Office of the Vice-President for Learning & Teaching.
The project involved Library staff collaborating with a diverse and inclusive group of students: to obtain feedback on the Library’s modules; implement improvements based on feedback; develop interactive assessments and content, allowing for the co-creation of learning experiences. The outcome of the project was a refined Library course which was more appealing and engaging. Library staff and students used H5P to co-create new interactive learning objects which help cement knowledge and allow for self-evaluation. An interactive, app-based scavenger hunt was also developed to provide an impactful first experience of UCC Library buildings for new students.
Key learning outcomes for attendees:
Recognize importance of partnering with students in projects;
Determine best application of technology in enhancing learning;
Summarize challenges experienced and what worked and didn’t work

Jisc presentation 2014 e factor 2 sg
This document summarizes an undergraduate e-learning pilot project that flipped lectures for a marketing course with over 100 students. Recorded lectures were assigned for students to watch outside of class, which then allowed class time to be used for discussion, exercises and elaboration of concepts. Various grants and partners supported developing online materials in Moodle, MyMarketingLab, and Echo360. Most student feedback was positive, praising the organization and seminars, though some wanted occasional in-person lectures. Results showed higher average scores than previous years. Challenges included motivating independent learning and issues with third-party platforms. Overall, the structured online approach was successful but will be modified based on lessons learned.

The Right Txt: Implementation of Text Messaging for Interlibrary Loan at Ohio...
The document discusses the Ohio University Libraries' use of text messaging for interlibrary loan notifications. It provides background on why texting was adopted, how notifications are sent for requests, renewals, overdues and articles, and changes made to simplify messages for a mobile format. Feedback indicates patrons appreciate simplified, to-the-point messages and find texting a good way to receive updates. Minor issues include occasional non-delivery and links not working, but on balance texting is deemed worthwhile.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Wound healing PPT
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.

Escape! Using an escape room game to teach library resources.
- 1. Escape! Using an escape room game to teach library resources. Derek Malone, Assistant Professor, Instructional Services & Interlibrary Loan, Scanning & Delivery Librarian, University of North Alabama Previous Library Visits for FYE Using the Amazing Library Race was: ● Interactive as the class was grouped in teams of 2, which forced productive collaboration; ● Productive for library familiarization, the website and building could both be covered in the activity; ● Outdated for students of today. Two primary needs for FYE courses during library day: FYE class visits for Fall 2017 ● 36 class visits ● 751 students attended Switch to Escape Rooms ● Relevant to our audience - FYE students; ● Interactive from the first second; ● Covers our needs - website and building; ● Competitive against other participants/teams; ● Cheaper than a traditional escape room experience; ● Fun! We use the entire kit, except the key lock and USB. Our Experience ● Positive feedback from students and faculty; ● Only a couple of small details were changed; ● Conducted a post-survey, which we’re analyzing now, more details on that soon - early indicators are positive for information retention. Background Understand the building Understand the website Fall 2017 - Escape Rooms Our Theme A rival university is trying to sabotage your library resources, you’ve stumbled in their work area and saving the library is up to you!
