Editor's Notes
- Developed by faculty champion Linda Williams, VCCS Chancellor’s innovation grant 6-week online asynchronous course; faculty must complete it in order to teach a Z-course Librarian facilitators offer a way to make it scalable; 96 faculty have now completed it
- Includes readings, videos, discussions, and activities It is self-paced, but encouraged to complete one module per week & faculty must complete by end of 6 weeks Anyone can look at it on the Lumen open courses website Some people fly through; others are challenged and overwhelmed
- Master course built with help from Lumen in Canvas
- Our instance uses an LTI to link to content from Blackboard, and we use Blackboard for grading, discussions, comments
- We can talk more about content later, or you can view it on Lumen’s website. We would like to talk about what we’ve learned. I have now taught twice; first librarian-facilitated session was ? And we currently have 4 librarians certified to facilitate and two more in the docket. We must successfully complete Pathways and also a custom facilitator training; abbreviated version of TOPS Elite
- Time is an issue for both the students and facilitators. Solved problem for librarians with the stipend model. Questions - copyright, use of licenses, policy, procedure Peer to peer teaching – demonstrate respect and maintain support role (guide on the side)
- Benefit for everyone = it’s open!
