Contextualising information literacy instruction: using real assignment briefs and previous student coursework to support student learning (5 minutes)
This session will discuss an afternoon workshop for first year Pharmacy students at the University of Reading, which was the result of a collaboration between staff from the Library, Study Advice, the International Study and Language Centre, and the School of Pharmacy. Having found that the instruction of study skills in isolation is often ineffective, we aimed to increase student engagement and retention by basing our workshop on an existing assignment brief, and we used student exemplars to encourage active learning.
