Tutorials Breakout Notes:
Attendees: Kyle Denlinger WFU, Mark Coltrain CPCC, Kim Duckett NCSU, Dre NCSU, Marc Bess UNCC, Anna, Dave Central, Megan Johnson App State (recorder).
Concept tutorials versus tool based (how-to) - bottom line, make your how-tos quick- spend more time on concepts (longer shelf life)
Maintenance schedule- ideal to have an inventory, remind subject librarians to review, update, the long tail...summer is a good time, but have to leave time for marketing, etc.
Important to figure out what is sustainable- meeting one-on-one with every student is not sustainable :)... but would they watch a video on how to do an assignment or other stuff?
Balance of standardization and just getting it done (consistent look and feel is nice, but maybe not too important on a how-to..and it is nice to not “over-brand” so that other libraries can use your Youtube (or otherwise hosted video) and have the content be applicable.
Short. 5 minutes is too long.
Content for Freshman? Struggle on what to present- should there be a mandatory collaboration with the library, or just have tools available for the freshman instructors that are willing to embed or use.. (the converted will use your tools)
Value of faculty partnerships and course design curriculum integration - seat at the table in developing assignments
What software does Lynda.com use? - Alexander Street Press- Build a Module (how-to Drupal videos that have nice transcript)
Youtube has a transcript feature that continues to improve.
HTML5 and mp4- hosting issues for interactivity (can you see the results of all that interactive quizzes, flash style animations). Chapters/TOC nice feature.
By fall, NCSU moving away from course guides- rethink how they present (how to explore a topic, not do a specific assignment) moving to more broadly applicable subject guides.
Kyle's idea for sharing all these instructional tools- a repository with metadata! Something more lightweight than Primo or Merlot- something open source, nimble…we suggested Dre do this and put it on gethub :)
Assessment is always a good idea- ideally build in a plan for it as you go along. You can look at data of usage, and do pre-post, do usability studies
Important to get Administrative support for time to develop instructional tool- Dave in particular is “chained to the reference desk”
Kerri looking at google communities for book club possibilities;
turn it in has a pay for model;
script in google docs for track changes and easy bibs
makerspaces: mainly talked about the makerspace pilot at UNCG... info including a time lapse video of our 3d printer can be found here: http://uncg.libguides.com/makerspace
ipad/apps for instruction:
google hangouts - using to create small groups with activities (producing products; collab google projects); in person class they were forced to use google hangout to do online collab work; doing this because all students will have to do online class before graduate
Trello - project organization (see BFW who is using if for the makerspace LIS curriculum project at UNCG if you have questions)
More talk about tablet management
instructor attitudes toward tablets
12:00- 12:45 lunch in the library, discussion of break-out sessions *box lunches will be provided including a vegetarian/vegan option! (thank you to our UL, Stanley Wilder!)
12:45- 1:45 lightning talks w/Q & A (see below)
1:45-2:30ish tour of library
Lightning talks:
Kim Duckett & Dre , NCSU: "Walk in Wisdom" Program: how let people know what we can help them with because not great signage and what kinds of things can you ask a librarian? strong branding for chat service; make teachable moments happen within the library based on popup concept; used white boards to catch attention; bribe with candy; made buttons; did 2 1.5 hour periods during busy periods; had great response; because moving to one service point - want to see if this could be a possible/successful
Marc Bess, UNC-Charlotte: Iterative Design of Interactive Online Learning Modules: modules in moodle; integrate activities into the modules; three modules built around inquiry process;
Samantha Harlow, High Point University: Media Services LibGuides: http://www.highpoint.edu/library/media/ libguides for media and digital services; stand alone guides and not just for classes; free media software libguide - popular but can be hard to maintain
Stephanie Otis, UNC-Charlotte: Captivate and Moodle for Low-Stakes Research Activities:
low stakes research process; focus faculty on the smaller pieces (how to read an article; coming up with topics) and create activities and tutorials to support; could lead up to a research paper or replace the paper (focus more on the goal of research and not the final product); allow opp to use captivate and moodle to support; focus on modular approach for particular classes/assignments; in outreach promoting tutorials as much/more than LI; able to get the data as students answer activities; have some of their videos on youtube atkins library information commons (reading is research); while videos are made for a specific course, they have a template they can use to customize it for a specific class; activities go with the videos;
Mark Coltrain, Central Piedmont Comm. College: Killing the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs: embedded librarian program since 2009/10; libs enrolled as course builders in Bboard; program has gotten really big so have brought in interns; also some of the libs and faculty have had innovative collab; created pre and post assessment with 19 MC, 90% response rate; problem with scalability; very popular but need to start over; looking more at redesigning curriculum so can embed the content and not just the librarians; take advantage of the standarization of the curriculum;
