Homeschooling and public schooling each have benefits and drawbacks. Homeschooling allows for personalized learning without some of the social pressures of public school but comes with the challenges of designing curriculum. Public school provides a standardized education and socialization opportunities but often has larger class sizes with less individual attention. Overall, both methods can be effective depending on the needs and learning styles of the specific student.

5 Ways to Use a Classroom Wiki
The document outlines 5 ways that a classroom wiki can be used: 1) For parent communication about upcoming events and important information. 2) To post homework assignments, study guides, resources for struggling students. 3) To allow for student collaboration, critiques, book reviews. 4) To display student work to boost pride and motivate harder work. 5) As a library of class resources like websites, books, and games.
(LISSEE) Highgate School June 2016
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on improving information literacy instruction in libraries. It discusses common issues with traditional library workshops and provides inspiration from student perspectives. Solutions proposed include making workshops more discussion-based, focused on learning by doing, and ensuring resources and searching skills are covered. Data shows students who attended workshops performed better on assignments and were more likely to evaluate sources critically. The presentation aims to move students from simply locating information to deeper analysis and evaluation.
Supporting MA students: A group supervision model
- The document discusses a group supervision model used for MA students at the University of Johannesburg where students from different stages of their degree jointly and individually meet with supervisors.
- During these meetings, students form a community of practice where knowledge is shared and they provide academic and non-academic support for each other.
- The supervision aims to create an intellectual climate and empower students while also addressing them as individuals, incorporating humor, and drawing on the experiences of supervisors and students. However, the model may not be suitable for full-time working students.
Becoming a Moodle Wizard: A Course for Teachers
It all started with an idea to create a "wizard" for Moodle, a built-in support system designed to help teachers progress beyond resources, forums, and assignments. It turned into an opportunity to explore the boundaries of our Moodle expertise and the limits of Moodle's capabilities.
During this session we'll take you on a guided tour of our "Becoming a Moodle Wizard" course, the prototype for our "wizard" idea. We'll demonstrate how we've combined lessons, conditional activities, and the progress bar plug-in to create a personalized, adaptive experience for those looking to expand their Moodle skills. Then we'll take you behind the scenes where we'll discuss the design and show you how it all works.
As we wrap things up, we'll present our future plans for the course as well as applications for these ideas in your own courses. We'll also share our thoughts regarding the ultimate Moodle "wizard" and take any ideas you can offer to make it better!

Destroying the silo: how breaking down barriers can lead to proactive and coo...UKSG: connecting the knowledge community
Cath Dishman Liverpool John Moores UniversityKatherine Stephan Liverpool John Moores UniversityThe Research Excellence Framework open access agenda brought about opportunities for the library research support team to work more closely with the Research Office at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). The benefit of working collaboratively – for example, delivering joint sessions – raised the profile of research support across the university as a whole. As a team, we wanted to build on that by working with other support teams and academic departments across the university who share our aim of supporting researchers. Alongside that, we wanted to develop potential collaborations to make the library more visible to those that we are trying to support and develop. What we are often confronted with are individual silos where staff and academics work independently, towards the common goal of supporting researchers but with much duplication of work and practice. We would like to demonstrate how libraries are well placed to collaborate with colleagues across the university. Using examples of our own success as well as struggles, we will demonstrate how the library can be at the heart of the academic community in numerous facets: training, events, and advocacy to name a few. The session will encourage attendees to think about how they can coordinate and work with others to develop fruitful and collaborative partnerships to the benefit of their research agenda, their own department and their institutionBuilding and maintaining your digital research profile
Workshop shared with colleagues at School of Education Summer School, 27 June 2015. A digital research profile is what a researcher wants to share about herself and her work online, including some work which may be created online, and research which may be conducted online.
Everyday advocacy with web 2.0 tools: Region XI keynote
This document discusses various everyday advocacy and web 2.0 tools that libraries can use to promote their services and value. It outlines how to use social media platforms like blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube to share information and stories. It also provides tips on gathering data and feedback from stakeholders to understand what they value. The resources emphasize creating a consistent online presence and branding across all digital channels to effectively advocate for the library.
Facilitating user research - being aware of bias and techniques to overcome it
This document provides guidance on conducting effective user research through facilitation techniques. It discusses 5 principles of human behavior that are important for user researchers to understand: 1) Users do not think like researchers, 2) Users lack insight into their own behaviors, 3) Past behavior predicts future behavior, 4) Behavior is context dependent, and 5) People are prone to biases. The document then offers tips for moderators to avoid biases, including observing nonverbal cues, using open-ended questions, and focusing on users' behaviors rather than feelings.

6 oct15 writing kmb plan edited
This document provides guidance on developing a knowledge mobilization plan. It defines knowledge mobilization and different related terms used across funding agencies. An effective plan must identify the research outcomes, target audiences and how they will be reached. It should also explain how impact will be evaluated over time. The plan requires determining appropriate knowledge products and resources like budgets, timelines, and ensuring open access of research outputs. Support services are available to help with workshops on clear writing, digital identity, and engaging events on social media. Developing a strong knowledge mobilization plan is important for sharing research broadly and creating real-world impact.
Learning at the Speed of Libraries
This document discusses how libraries must adapt to changing workforce demographics and learning styles. By 2020, half of the US workforce will be millennials who prefer self-directed, informal and just-in-time learning over formal training. As such, libraries need to shift from trainer-centered models to learner-centered approaches that facilitate learning moments anywhere and anytime. The document also outlines challenges to change and provides resources for developing a learning culture and organization.

Open literacy & the problem of access refusal
Presentation at WILU, MacEwan University, Edmonton, AB.
Abstract: The swift evolution of Open Access (OA) publishing of scholarly works has been driven by researchers and librarians who recognize the societal benefits of these resources being freely available on the Internet. Especially in fields relevant to Science, Technology and Medicine, high quality OA content can benefit people conducting both personal and professional research anywhere in the world. These resources can prove exceptionally valuable to students whose access to scholarly research materials may be limited by costly journal subscriptions both while they are in school and long after they have graduated. This presentation will draw on findings from an exploratory research study that involved a survey sent to academic librarians across Canada questioning the degree to which they are educating students about Open Access research materials and their motivations for and against doing so. Based on participants’ responses, suggested teaching strategies and promotional initiatives will be shared with session attendees. Information literacy teaching methods discussed aim to foster a broader understanding of Open resources and overall scholarly publishing processes among students developing critical and sustainable researching skills.
Lightening students' load: An introduction to open textbooks
Free online textbooks (“open textbooks”) are becoming a reality for a growing number of students in higher education. This session will explore initiatives that are making this possible including the British Columbia Open Textbook Project and the Campus Alberta Open Education Resources Initiative. Participants will be asked to reflect on how open textbooks could benefit their own students both economically and in terms of student learning, while also considering possible drawbacks and implications that these emerging resources pose.

Getting By While Hotel Workers Rise: A Look Back at Graduate School
The document appears to be a collection of images and quotes related to labor issues. It includes photos from Flickr with captions about labor unions and working conditions. One quote argues that common oppressions can build common interests and a foundation for change. Overall, the document seems to highlight issues faced by workers and unions through a series of images and short texts.
Putting Cracks in the Paywall: Connecting Librarian Values, Actions, and Tech...
A core value of librarianship lies in providing users with equal and immediate access to information. This is frequently not possible, however, particularly when it concerns providing access to academic research literature available through costly journal subscriptions. Drawing on a range of examples, this presentation describes individual and collective actions that librarians have taken to overcome commercial barriers and help to ensure equitable online access to research and scholarship. It also addresses initiatives and services that both academic and public libraries could be implementing and more broadly supporting if unrestricted access to information is truly a goal. Participants will be asked to consider their own perspectives on the open access movement, its intentions and limitations, and how they might support it in their own professional lives.
Demonstrating the impact of your work
A growing number of websites provide ways to see how many times research and teaching materials have been cited, viewed, downloaded, and shared with others. Learn how to tell a story about the scholarly and social impact of your work using both traditional and alternative metrics when documenting accomplishments in CVs, dossiers, and funding applications. This hands-on session will include finding and interpreting metrics in Google Scholar, Scopus, ImpactStory.org, ResearchGate, and more.
Microinterations, macro results: Why you should design the details
Details matter. Each of these presentations share tips and advice on getting the interactions and content on your website right for your users. MacEwan librarians look at how micro-interactions, the moments when we delight our users by refining the way we offer services, lead to macro-results.

You Say You Want a Publishing Revolution
Abstract: Through exploring the concept of transformative change, this session will question the extent to which academic libraries’ open access publishing services can bear impact upon systemic changes to a commercial publishing industry that continues to erode the proud history of libraries as providers of information to the public without charge.

Demystifying the Academic Publishing Process
Opportunities to publish research and scholarly works are many, yet so are the questions and concerns that can arise when choosing a suitable publishing venue.
How do you identify high quality peer-reviewed journals in your field? What are the benefits and limitations to publishing in open access journals that are freely available on the internet? What are your options if a publisher asks you to sign away copyright to your work? And how can you find out whether your work has actually been cited and built upon by others once it has been published?
This session will give you insight into these questions and more, while providing an overview of various ways in which MacEwan University Library staff can help you navigate the academic publishing world.
The Mentor and the MUSe: Engaging Faculty in Undergraduate Student Publishing
Poster presented at the Council on Undergraduate Research Conference (CUR 2014) on Monday, June 30 in Washington, DC. *Save to PDF for larger/readable text*
Abstract: Publishing opportunities for undergraduate students continue to grow, particularly in university-hosted, student-led open access journals. The MacEwan University Student eJournal (MUSe) is a recent initiative that involves undergraduate students from across disciplines at every level of the publication process, from solicitation of submissions through to blind peer-review, and dissemination. These students are each actively involved with faculty mentors, affording them the opportunity to work alongside experienced academics while gaining insight and knowledge about the ways in which scholarly and creative publications are managed.
Drawing on the experiences of those involved with MUSe, along with related efforts of other undergraduate research publications, this poster describes in detail ways that journal managers can work to ensure meaningful and sustainable faculty engagement in student journals. This includes best practices for recruiting faculty mentors, and effective means of providing necessary support to ensure a worthwhile and engaging experience for faculty and students alike during every stage of the publishing process.

The Great Academic Giveaway: How to Share Your Work Online… and Why You Should
Presented at the ACIFA Conference in Jasper, Alberta on May 27, 2014.
There are dozens of opportunities for college and university faculty to share their teaching and research materials freely on the Internet, from personal websites and social media accounts to institutional repositories. Doing so can open up great opportunities to share expertise, find collaborators, and reach new heights in establishing oneself professionally among peers. Sharing also provides a sustainable means for academics and students around the world to learn from and build on each other’s work.
This session will provide an overview of ways faculty can easily and meaningfully engage with the online world by sharing their work. A variety of websites and services that are popular among a growing number of academics will be highlighted and discussed in terms of their benefits and potential applications. Common concerns around copyright and intellectual property will also be addressed, and participants will learn some practical ways to maintain and communicate their rights over works when placing them online.
The Funny Side of Open Access (SPARC OA Meeting 2014 Innovation Fair)
Poster presented at the SPARC Open Access Meeting in Kansas City, MO on March 3, 2014.
Abstract: How do you engage undergraduate students with topics to do with open access to research on the Internet? Offer them popcorn, candy and comedy, of course! To celebrate Open Access Week 2013, MacEwan University Library held an Open Access Comedy Film Festival. The event featured daily showings of films that have entered the public domain from the likes of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and The Three Stooges, along with brief introductions to what open access research journals are and where to find them online. The event turned out to be a uniquely fun and successful way to engage the university community with not only the open access movement but related efforts that embrace the free online exchange of ideas and creativity. Learn about how the event came together as well as recommendations the organizer has to offer anyone who is inspired to host a similar event at their own college or university.
Unshelving the Human Learning Library at Your Institution (WILU 2012)
Poster presented at WILU 2012 with Sona Macnaughton at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta on May 24, 2012.
Abstract: Human Libraries are taking place all over the world as a means of bringing communities together to share diverse experiences and encourage understanding. At Red Deer College, librarians have discovered that using this event concept specifically as a professional development tool encourages dialogue and fosters growth and innovation in teaching and learning practices. This presentation will address the process librarians went through to organize and host this event, and the resulting benefits shared among teaching staff and student participants. Learn about how your own institution can encourage both instructors and students to take on the role of “living books” reflecting upon and sharing their teaching and learning strategies and inspiring their peers.
Open Access Week and Beyond (OLA Super Conference)
Poster presented at the Ontario Library Association Super Conference in Toronto on February 26, 2010.
Abstract: Academic librarians’ support of open access publishing initiatives has enhanced library collections, research innovation and the visibility of institutions’ output. Many have paid less attention, however, to educating university students about open access resources. Drawing on exemplary promotional efforts, this poster describes ways that Canadian academic librarians might ensure students know about open access resources and understand their potential uses and limitations, from actively participating in Open Access Week to integrating open access topics into instruction sessions and beyond. During the poster session, information about recent developments in the open access movement in Canada will also be made available.
