Teaching Tomorrow's Students Today: Keeping Library Instruction Relevant  

We have included a copy of the active learning exercise that was distributed during our presentation.

                                                          Presentation Abstract:

Frustrated  by one-shot instruction sessions?  Would you like to foster a cooperative learning experience in the classroom?  This session will focus on active learning activities, tips when working with faculty members, and free collaborative tools.  Motivating students during library instruction poses a challenge to many librarians.  Most librarians are comfortable presenting library resources in a traditional lecture format, however many students both traditional and millennial, prefer hands on activities along with a variety of learning formats.

This session will help you develop active learning activities, provide discussion on how to incorporate them into a one-shot session, share tips for designing library assignment with faculty, and demonstrate free collaborative tools for the classroom.  Learn how to create a supportive learning environment for current and future students without busting your budget.

Feel free to contact us with any questions about the presentation or this LibGuide.
