Austin Stroud presented on instructional design in libraries. He discussed getting to know your audience and assessing needs through surveys. Some key points included experimenting with new classes, utilizing free online resources, and networking with other libraries for ideas. Stroud shared many class topics and free training resources. He emphasized adapting instruction and having backup plans. The goal is to promote digital literacy through blogs, one-on-one sessions, and open labs.
In this session, our presentation will focus on the types of technologies we use to deliver content and curriculum in the asynchronous online environment. We will discuss how we use a variety of technological applications such as web conferencing tools, a learning management system, blogs, wikis and other web 2.0 applications to achieve learning goals and objectives in our workshops and courses.

Learning Management Systems - Online EducationBrian Pichman
Schools and universities around the world are teaching today's future leaders through online classroom environments. They utilize a tool called a Learning Managment System to track student progress and performance throughout the course. In today's shifting landscape, many companies are adopting the same approach to train and ensure their team is up to date with processes and procedures. At the same time, they are developing content to teach their employees skills. Join Brian Pichman
of the Evolve Project as he navigates you through what an LMS is and how it can be applied to train library staff (and even patrons). Learn how you can create a strategy to create a robust learning environment to help your staff to help them learn and grow.

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
The simplified electron and muon model, Oscillating Spacetime: The Foundation...RitikBhardwaj56
Discover the Simplified Electron and Muon Model: A New Wave-Based Approach to Understanding Particles delves into a groundbreaking theory that presents electrons and muons as rotating soliton waves within oscillating spacetime. Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. Education Background
Education: Bachelor of Science in Labor Studies
Master of Science in Education (Instructional Systems Technology)
Master of Library Science – Indiana University
5. Audience Information
• In the public library environment, I see a wider variety of patron needs –
in the academic environment, however, I do see many non-traditional
learners that present challenges from the norm
• Patrons taking more advanced computer classes generally have a
better understanding of how to use a computer
• Patrons in the basic computer classes (computer basics, email,
Microsoft Word, etc.) generally need more one-on-one attention
• For staff members, each department has its own unique training needs
and desires
• Adapt to your audience – always have handouts and tip sheets on hand
as take home job aids, but if only a couple of people show up: find out
what they want to learn and go from there
6. Characteristics for Success
• Kindness
• Approachability
• Patience
• Versatility
• Ability to think quick on your feet
• Desire to continually learn
• Sense of humor
7. Needs Assessment
• Survey staff and patrons to identify specific needs
• Some class topics are a given for having an interest, such as
Microsoft Word – basic computer classes are always needed
• Some things to consider when building a class/training:
– How long should the training be?
– What time of day and day of week should the training be offered?
– Where should the training be held (think of equipment needs)?
– Who is the target audience for the training (what skills are necessary)?
– What instructional methods should be used (video, lecture, books, PowerPoint,
handouts, etc.)?
– Should the training be online only, face-to-face, or both?
– Should the topic be broken up into multiple sessions?
• These questions and more can ALL be answered through surveying
the staff and patrons you are serving
• Different branches have different training needs – survey each
separately
8. Needs Assessment
• Introduce what you are hoping to accomplish
• Provide prompts when soliciting feedback to avoid
general answers like “anything” or “everything”
• Don’t ask two questions at once
• Multiple choice response options need to be balanced –
Examples:
Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Very Poor OR Very satisfied,
satisfied, Undecided, Unsatisfied, Very unsatisfied
9. Try New Things - Experiment
• Some classes you try will not work
• If registration is low, there probably is not much need for that class
(or the timing is off)
• Be open to trying new things and experimenting to find what works
best in instructing a given topic
• Use a variety of instructional methods, as not everyone learns the
same way
• Be mindful of staff and patrons with disabilities – create classes that
anyone could take
• If you show it in the class, have it in a handout for the staff or
patrons to take with them (or a link to a resource at the very least)
• Have a backup plan in case the technology fails – don’t put all of
your eggs in one basket
10. Course Offerings
Past/Present/Future Offerings:
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft
Access, Microsoft Publisher, Organizing/Editing Photos (Gimp),

11. Don’t Reinvent the Wheel
• Where possible, utilize some free training materials available on the
Internet (be mindful of copyright)
• Find out what other libraries are doing – ask to use what they
already have created
• Seek some volunteer or intern assistance
• Play off of staff strengths – you could have a subject matter expert
on a given topic already on staff

17. Ideas for Promoting Digital Literacy
• Blog about technology – keep it short (writing or
screencasts)
• Don’t implement any new service or piece of equipment
without properly training a variety of staff members
• Offer one-on-one sessions – MCPL has a series of staff
members that rotate in monthly rotations to offer these
• Offer open labs where those you are servicing can come
ask anything or bring in a tablet/e-reader for help
• Don’t forget the needs assessment – the patrons you are
serving have a voice, too
