Creating learning experiences: Reimagining IL instruction for Fall 2021

Discussion

 23 June 2021

 10:00–11:00

This session will offer participants an opportunity to discuss one of four topics related to IL instruction for the Fall 2021 semester.

Participants will choose one of four topics offered (see below). They will then meet with others in their topic’s breakout room to develop teaching activities for their selected topic. The session will conclude with all four groups briefly reporting out their breakout room discussion outcomes. A shared Google document will be used to gather each groups’ contributions and serve for future planning and inspiration.

  • Topic 1: “Google” versus Library Databases (Fadia Al-Akhras, AUK)
  • Topic 2: Digital Privacy and Citizenship as part of the IL Class (Krasimir Spasov, AUBG)
  • Topic 3: Research as Inquiry (Michael Stoepel, AUP)
  • Topic 4: Information has Value in a Complex Digital Research Environment (Araz Margossian & Tatevik Zargaryan, AUA)
