Student engagement and library use:an examination of attitudes towards use o...IFLA
The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of a study that examines undergraduate students’ experience with research, library and information use prior to coming to university and their behaviour and attitude towards library and information after they have been exposed to a variety of library awareness activities and received information literacy training during their first year at Ozyegin University in Turkey. Students take a compulsory “Introduction to University’ subject during their first semester taught by both internal and external experts on a wide range of topics including ‘Journey of Information’ presented by library staff. The Library is also involved in the subsequent delivery of information literacy programs throughout students’ university programs in an on-going effort to engage them and to get them involved in university-wide activities. The library staff work as partners with the faculty and other student support services in designing, delivering and evaluating these programs.

The rapid and continuous changes in technology place lecturers using web 2.0 and web 3.0 technologies in their online courses in a predicament. The question uppermost is how to determine which tool will suit the circumstance of the students and lecturers and the teaching model adopted by the institution the best. This is an important question because every lecturer adopting technology as part of their teaching strategy is confronted with the question whether the tool they are using will enhance their pedagogy, incorporate different learning strategies and ultimately improve the performance outcomes of the entire qualification. Incorporating technology into teaching for the mere purpose of using technology, without considering the pedagogical implications, will cause a lot more harm than good.
The research reported on in this paper relates to providing an initial quantitative perspective on the use of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) tools towards effective teaching and meaningful learning of Computer Programming in an Open and Distance Learning (ODL) context. More specifically, the main research question addressed in this paper relates to the use of specific VLE tools by first year programming students and their effectiveness towards teaching and meaningful learning.
Open etext books are making a significant difference to educational outcomes. Includes a case study of The plan detectives and analysis of the changes made to student outcomes.

Barbour, M. K., & Siko, J. (2012, April). A case study examining the perspectives of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in virtual schooling. A paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Vancouver, BC.
A large population of virtual schooling students are defined as “at-risk.” However, there is little research that focuses on the experiences of these students. This case study, based on interviews and video observations of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in an online course, brings light to some of these experiences. The student was good at prioritizing, often took the path of least resistance to achieve the minimum level of expectations, and demonstrated waning productivity during class. The student was also able to clearly express his thoughts on what was needed to succeed in an online course. As more rural students have to learn online, it is important to better understand how to design, deliver and support virtual schooling.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Student engagement and library use:an examination of attitudes towards use of libraries and information amongst undergraduate students at a Turkish university library
1. Student engagement and library use:
an examination of attitudes towards use of
libraries and information amongst
undergraduate students at a Turkish
university library
Gulcin Cribb, Singapore Management University
Ilkay Holt, Ozyegin University, Turkey
2. agenda
• Student engagement
• Connecting engagement to library use
and information literacy
• Ozyegin University study of first year
students
• Survey and outcomes
4. ‘All aspects of student engagement are
positively related to students’ overall
satisfaction with university study. More
engaged learners are more satisfied, and
vice versa.’
(ACER, 2008)
5. Global competition
amongst universities
Student engagement - a
critical KPI for all
stakeholders, especially
the students
6. Gwen van der Velden, director of learning and teaching
enhancement, University of Bath
First understand what student engagement means: There are many
interpretations of the term: one relates to how and whether
students are engaged, for example. motivated to learn. Another
concentrates on how to actively involve students of specific
backgrounds, or from specific groups in society. Thirdly and
arguably the most pressing for universities at the moment is the
issue of engagement in terms of student satisfaction, much
encouraged by the national introduction of student surveys (the
NSS in the UK, NSSE in North America and AUSSE in Australia)
Guardian, Wednesday 26 October, 2011
7.
8. students
• Don’t start searching on library website
• Think library sources more trustworthy
• Don’t borrow many books
• Less interested in extra-curricular activities
• Spend less time on the campus
• Like using library as social and collaboration spaces
• Think ‘anyone can find information – so easy!’
• Prefer technological and personal methods to research
9. library use, information literacy
and student success
• Does the library have any impact on student learning?
• Does ‘library use’ (loan of books, e-resource usage, library
visits, information literacy, network logins and so on) have any
impact on student learning, engagement and academic
performance?
• Are we shifting focus from ‘information access’ to ‘student
learning and engagement’?

13. information literacy
and library awareness
• Use of learning portfolios in English language instruction
offered by SELI (School of English Language Instruction)

Information’ lecture and small group case study approach
14. survey – first year students
• All first year students enrolled in English language classes
• Beginning of spring term
• In collaboration with SELI faculty
• 57% response rate
15. survey aims
•What kind of experience, if any, did the students have with
libraries, information resources and research prior to coming to
OzU?
•What were the students’ perceptions of libraries and information
resources prior to coming to OzU and at the beginning of the
second term at the University?
•How did the students’ rate their own competency in using
information resources prior to coming to OzU and at the beginning
of the second term at the University?
19. what is different?
• selection of resources
• increased use of e-resources
• appearance of the ‘ask a librarian’ option
• slight decline in selecting the web as the starting point for
research compared to the figures whilst at high school (80.3%
at high school and 71.5% at the university)
• transition from dependency on their own resources to
increased usage of library resources
23. some comments, observations
‘I used to think that libraries were just spaces to study’
‘I used to think they were boring and suffocating places’
‘ No idea about e-resources before coming to university’
‘Internet is sufficient for my information needs’
‘Other students should learn how to use library’s e- resources’
24. contributing factors
• Student demographics
• High schools the students attended
• Collaborative approach to information literacy
• Curriculum integration
• Continuous activities to engage and involve students offered
by the Library
• Participation and involvement in university-wide student
engagement activities
25. conclusion
• OzU Library impact on students’ perceptions and awareness
• Students’ awareness of their own needs and competencies
• Library’s impact on student engagement, experience and
learning as part of the OzU strategy
26. way forward
• Input for the next review and revision of the 1st year SELI
curriculum and IL program
• Linking with student performance and attainment
• Annual survey for benchmarking
• Possible use of the survey to benchmark with other universities
in Turkey and maybe abroad
• Share with stakeholders, students in particular
