Today I got together with Susan and Kevin to get an idea of where we're going with this project. I was lucky to be able to stay for part of a LIB 100 revamping meeting afterwards wtih Susan, Kevin, Erik, Giz, Mary, and Caroline. Here are my notes:
next actions:
- Send really awesome "flipped" LIB100 article to Mary, Susan, Giz, Erik, Caroline, and Kevin. What was that again?
- Find library tutorial links and email to Susan and Kevin (pay attention to interactive tutorials dealing with the catalog.)
- Create a draft tutorial for the catalog. Include: subject heading, format, limiting, sorting. It's going to be challenging to make the info lit points b/c you can't really "fail" with guided keyword the way you can with author or title.
- Send draft to Susan and Kevin for consideration.
- Talk with Roz to find out what is needed for journal finder tutorial.
After this we'll look into "fun" tutorials.
Some ideas to consider:
- Susan currently uses movie clips to reiterate what is taught in class.
- Interactivity would be a good addition.
- Text based answer and response as close to real time as possible.
- I will have access to Susan & Erik's current class. Check out syllabus for interesting areas for future tutorials.
- Look at the revamp lib 100 paperwork.
If we create a text-based feedback exercise:
- Make one, see how it goes over with current LIB 100 teachers.
- What do you want to test?
- Maybe this could take the edge of grading.
Start with a proof of concept.
Software to look into:
Sources for fun tutorials
- Revamp lib 100 paperwork
- Susan & Erik's Blackboard syllabus
- Web 2.0 technologies
- Privacy issues
- Classification & folksonomies
- Political and economic dynamics of information
- and, social epistemology (just kidding!)
