Online-only Information Literacy Instruction
Description
This talk addresses how librarians at UWS embedded a customized Library DIY mini-course within a mandatory course that enrolls over 100 first-quarter students per cohort in an online master’s program. This process included: socializing the idea to program directors; gathering reference data to make a case for just-in-time instruction; identifying a program to start with; getting buy-in from key stakeholders; building and implementing the mini-course; evaluating the evidence of the impact of the mini-course on student performance, and identifying gaps for improvement in future iterations. We will also address lessons learned and next steps for the customized Library DIY model.
Learning Outcomes
-
Identifying critical steps in building an embedded mini-course for online programs from the ground up.
-
Leveraging on-the-ground reference data and stories to illustrate the gap in information literacy and research skills from where students are to where they need to be for program success.
-
Nuts and bolts aspects of the mini-course that helped us “sell” the idea to program directors and faculty.
