I am getting very useful information thanks to the discussion organisers and to Stacey. For me the ILEARN model will definitely suit the extended programme students I teach. For referencing the focus is more on the reasons why it has to be done than the technical aspects which differ widely among different lecturers.The Street Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722070638213847880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803710821492432735.post-14859069764785150432016-09-29T21:01:26.307+01:002016-09-29T21:01:26.307+01:00Please do keep the discussion going, but as it'...Please do keep the discussion going, but as it's nearing 9pm I'd like to thank you all once again for joining the discussion, and especially thank you Stacey for taking the time to share your research with us. <br /><br />We haven't yet identified articles for future discussions, does anyone have any recommendations?Niamhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860783347121152391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803710821492432735.post-86064649558837231692016-09-29T21:01:05.358+01:002016-09-29T21:01:05.358+01:00Yes sounds a great idea, StaceyYes sounds a great idea, StaceySheila Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929764583069948543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803710821492432735.post-66724043151135555852016-09-29T20:59:09.267+01:002016-09-29T20:59:09.267+01:00That's a great idea, I'll watch out for th...That's a great idea, I'll watch out for that and consider whether it might be appropriate for some of our training materials as wellNiamhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860783347121152391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803710821492432735.post-62383819923630979322016-09-29T20:59:01.711+01:002016-09-29T20:59:01.711+01:00it seemed like some of the most most useful outcom...it seemed like some of the most most useful outcomes were highlighting the value of the sessions - either session - and teh student reaction<br />Sheila Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929764583069948543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803710821492432735.post-69096877798273589592016-09-29T20:58:00.545+01:002016-09-29T20:58:00.545+01:00Given the duration of the sessions, the study, the...Given the duration of the sessions, the study, the number of participants, etc., my department wasn't that surprised that I found no difference. I did find it enlightening that the course guides designed with I-LEARN were used more heavily and were commented on more positively, so that's where I'm putting my efforts. I'm currently part of a conversation with the creator of the model and several colleagues at other institutions who have used the model to put together a book of example instructional materials utilizing it. So I've tended to focus on building online materials, including some guides within our learning management system for a graduate class I teach.Stacey Greenwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467464122531644180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803710821492432735.post-5287515248305836112016-09-29T20:54:06.542+01:002016-09-29T20:54:06.542+01:00Thanks Sheila.

Some of my faculty colleagues make their rubrics an important part of the class so that students can better understand the expectations and self-evaluate throughout the course. I mentioned above the emphasis on assessment with our accrediting body in the US. We've learned a good bit about rubrics during that process, and I see a lot of value in them.Stacey Greenwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467464122531644180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803710821492432735.post-1455675729164378902016-09-29T20:40:41.076+01:002016-09-29T20:40:41.076+01:00One year I gave an assignment for a (non librarian...One year I gave an assignment for a (non librarian) class where the students used a list of reasons why people might cite, and they had to identify citations in an allocated paper and say which reasons they thought applied and why they thought it was for that reason. There has been quite a lot of research into "why do people cite things". The idea was to get them thinking more about the relationship between scholarly papers (they were each given a pair of papers) and why you bother using citationsSheila Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929764583069948543noreply@blogger.com
