Textbook affordability is there a role for the libraryNASIG
Try searching the library catalog, as many students do each semester, for the latest version of the textbook being used in a class at many universities and you will likely come up empty-handed. Many academic libraries – due to high prices, frequently-issued new editions, and a tendency to go missing from the collection – have justifiably chosen to play only a marginal role in the provision of textbooks on campus. However, the dynamics of the textbook market are changing rapidly and this presentation will explore the question: should libraries reconsider the roles they play in the provision of course materials on campus? This session will focus on the issue of affordability in the context of the rapid evolution and increased availability of e-textbooks (electronic versions of textbooks). Topics covered will include: --an overview of the e-textbook market. --purchasing options and outlets for e-textbooks. --new business models for institutional access to e-textbooks. --potential savings from e-textbook adoptions. --information on negotiating with publishers and platform providers. --why the library is well-positioned to play a prominent role in the provision of e-textbooks.

"I Didn't Know I Could Use the Library!" Meeting the Needs of Students OnlineJoe Hardenbrook
Presentation for WILU 2013: What do you do with students you rarely see in the library? University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has a growing online student population. Reaching these students can be challenging. Many still view the library as just a brick-and-mortar building, and not an online 24/7 resource. Librarians conducted an assessment of online students to investigate their needs. This session will focus on the assessment results and the information literacy outreach plan put into place. It will highlight several initiatives, including the embedded librarian program, faculty-librarian collaboration, marketing efforts, and learning tools geared towards online students. Based on feedback from students and faculty, an increase in reference questions, as well as high usage statistics from librarian-created tutorials and discussion boards, the outreach plan is working. Come and learn about these best practices for online learners and share your ideas, as well.
Electronic Texts and Learning: Findings from Two StudiesNITLE
Trina Marmarelli, Instructional Technology Manager, Reed College
Since 2009, Reed College has been exploring the potential of e-reader and tablet technology to enhance teaching and learning. Our pilot studies of the Amazon Kindle DX and the Apple iPad as platforms for reading, annotating, and referring to scholarly texts have shown us that when quick and easy markup and navigation are possible, electronic texts facilitate both comprehension and discussion. I will discuss our studies’ findings and our current investigation of emerging e-text developments.

Where’s the Librarian? Expanding Beyond the Library Through Research & Technology Peer Fellows
Elizabeth Dolinger (Keene State College), Irene McGarrity (Keene State College), Danielle Hoadley (Keene State College), Matthew McDougal (Keene State College)
Questioning the value and sustainability of librarian led research instruction sessions, as well as the librarian staffed reference desk, two librarians spear-headed the development of a student peer mentor training program to improve integration of information literacy across the curriculum and provide research and technology assistance at the library’s new student staffed Information Desk. During this session, student Research & Technology Fellows will share their experiences participating in the program and two librarians will share their experiences developing and managing the program through a self-paced, blended model of online modules in the Canvas course management system and face-to-face trainings
Takes a brief look at the different types of people who enter the school library, from the school librarian to paraprofessional aides, parent and other volunteers, student aides teachers, administrators and guests, such as authors and public librarians.

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
