For students who
think they already
know how to do
research, library
instruction is
BORING. Why don't
we start asking
students what they
want to learn?
 create
a natural learning environment,
 get students attention and keep it
 start with the students rather than with the
discipline.
It can be
uncomfortable to
give up control!
 Need
to be prepared for anything! Will need
to have an assortment of lectures, activities,
etc. ready to go at a moments notice. If you
have handouts, then you’ll need to have
those available!
 Keeping students on track -- you are giving
them the power to choose the course of the
instruction, but you will still need to be able
to manage the classroom
 Making adjustments for learners outside the
norm
The ONE-SHOT Session
course: Perhaps more
challenging, but the payoff could be great
 Perhaps a hybrid course with online
learning modules?
