Gallery Walk: What Shapes Information?/ Albie 90
I adapted this activity for a 100 minute first-year composition session. I had previously worked with the class for a session on evaluating news articles and fact-checking claims, but we hadn't talked much about scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. I chose several new examples appropriate for an introductory audience, such as a diagram of the steps in the peer-review process, examples of reviewer comments, and a pay-walled article.
Guide on the Side (James)
Many librarians have embraced the use of active learning in their teaching. Moving away from lectures and toward activities that get students using the skills they’re learning can lead to more meaningful learning experiences. It’s one thing to tell someone how to do something, but to have them actually do it themselves, with expert guidance, makes it much more likely that they’ll be able to do it later on their own. Replicating that same “guide on the side” model online, however, has proven difficult. Librarians, like most instructors, have largely gone back to a lecture model of delivering instruction. Certainly it’s a great deal more difficult to develop active learning exercises, or even interactivity, in online instruction, but many of the tools and techniques that have been embraced by librarians for developing online tutorials and other learning objects do not allow students to practice what they’re learning while they’re learning.

Library Database Teach-In CORA (Alyssa)
Short Description: Rather than just providing a 20min presentation on academic databases available through the library website--this lesson is designed to have students demonstrate using library databases for their classmates. Delivered to our ENG 1B (a required freshman course) students, and timed to coincide with their Argument Essay assignment, students practice accessing and utilizing databases to find information sources. Working in groups, the students explore an assigned database before coming up to the podium to demonstrate the materials, search functionality and features of that database.
