  1. Information Literacy by Design:Librarians ande-Learning Cory Laverty Queen’s University

  2. Today • http://library.queensu.ca/wiki/elearning/ • Our shared experiences with e-learning and what works • Purpose of the e-learning wiki. • How it can support your work. • Brief overview of content. • How you can contribute to the wiki.

  3. My e-Learning Experiences • Handouts – screenshots – workbooks – PowerPoints to web • Tutorials with ScreenCam – Macromedia Captivate • Information literacy modules embedded in online WebCT courses • Learning technology teams -- solutions for specific courses • Full online course – Honours Specialist Librarianship • Required modules for 80 faculty who teach at Faculty of Education: Teaching and Learning in an Online Environment; • Online certificate course for Queen’s faculty on Foundations for Learning with Centre for Teaching and Learning

  4. Searching

  5. Your Experiences Think of one thing from your own experiences with online learning materials that you feel accomplishes the outcome you intended.

  6. Principals of Good Library Instruction • Encourage contact between students and librarian. • Develop reciprocity and cooperation among students. • Encourage active learning. • Give prompt feedback. • Emphasize time on task. • Communicate high expectations. • Respect diverse ways of learning.

  7. Origins of this Wiki E-learning

  8. Why a Wiki? wikis

  9. Share/re-use e-learning guides and tutorials. e.g.: ANTS CLOE CORIL EDNA MERLOT PRIMO… and more Build knowledge together. What works in theory. What works in practice. Starting points. Tips and tools. Share ideas. Learning reflection. Learning Object RepositoryWiki

  10. Wiki Guidelines Authors • Register yourself: click Login – click Register. • Open access to all pages. • Click edit on any page and save. Content • Initially populated with exemplars in Gallery. • Describe an information literacy tutorial you’ve created. • Apply what we know from research on learning. • Key readings offered rather than collection of links. Reflection • Share how you use an online tutorial. • What are your successes and challenges.

  11. Wiki Content What are our top questions when designing instruction? • What types of online learning activities help students understand information literacy concepts? • What are the key design principles that make for quality learning in an online tutorial? • What forms of evaluationreveal what students learned in a tutorial? • Where can I read about lessons learnedfrom librarians who have already done this? • How can librarians get involvedwith e-learning initiatives on your campus?

  18. Situated Cognition

  19. Cognitive Apprenticeship

  20. Enhance Learning with Technology

  21. Tips & Tools

  22. Creating an e-Learning Environment Jonassen suggests 6 factors: • Problem space: select problem type (case study, rule application, analysis, comparison; check Bloom’s Taxonomy) • Related realistic materials: examples of cases to support learning from which learner can extrapolate • Information resources: references, readings, websites • Cognitive tools: to support information collection and analysis – e.g. www.visual-literacy.org • Conversation and collaboration tools: discussion forums, chat, whiteboards, virtual reference, mail, listservs • Social/contextual support: general communication; mentoring – one-on-one Jonassen, D.H. (2000). Toward a design theory of problem solving. Educational Technology Research and Development 48/4,63-85.

  23. Cognitive Tools: SMART Ideas

  24. Cognitive ToolsConceptual Frameworks

  25. How to use a concept map?

  26. Models for e-Learning Partnerships

  27. Starting Points Inquiryworkshops Learning Commons Research tools workshops Campus committees

  28. Tips & Tools for e-Learning Core Principles for Online Learning (Clark and Meyer): Multimedia: Use words and graphics rather than words alone. Contiguity: Place corresponding words and graphics together. Modality: Present words as speech (audio). Redundancy: Don’t present words in both text and audio. Coherence: Adding interesting material can hurt learning. Personalization: Use conversational style and virtual coaches. Clark, R.C. & Mayer, R.E. (2003). e-Learning and the science of instruction: Proven guidelines for consumers and designers of multimedia learning. San Francisco: Pfeiffer.

  29. Good Questions

  30. Learning Object Repositories ANTS: Animated Tutorial Sharing Project: Information literacy tutorials created by librarians from COPPUL. Connexions: An open repository of educational materials and tools that offers high-quality, electronic course material in a variety of disciplines. CORIL: Cooperative Online Repository for Information Literacy: Collection of information literacy tools from Canadian librarians. EDNA: Education Network Australia : Repository of ICT innovations that demonstrate the latest tools and technologies, (e.g. learning objects, RSS feeds, wikis, blogs, podcasts, and other utilities). MERLOT: Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching Collection of peer reviewed, higher education, online learning materials created by registered members.

  31. Gallery of Case Studies • Acadia • British Columbia • Brock • Calgary • Concordia • Ottawa • New Brunswick • Simon Fraser • Ryerson • Waterloo • Winnipeg • York

  32. Case Studies

  33. Questions about e-Learning Outcomes: • Purpose of the e-learning wiki. • How it can support your work. • Basic principals of an effect e-learning environment. • How you can contribute to the wiki. • One thing you learned today that you think you could apply?
