Taking Knowing & Knowledge Afrom Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 Daniella Hutchings And Mark Armstrong-Roper
K&K A is a key foundation unit in the Faculty of AEHD at Victoria University • Each year around 500 first year students enrol in K&K A • Library staff present 2 of the tutorials as Research Skills sessions with the content built around the assessment tasks. • K&K A began in 1998 and is taught in face to face mode by lecture and tutorial. It’s been taught this way for a long, long time!

K&K A Uses Traditional Teaching Methods • Lectures delivered using PowerPoint. • Lectures are available on Webct and eReserve as PowerPoint slides. • Library Research Skills sessions are delivered using PowerPoint. • Our handouts for the students are printouts of the PowerPoint slides.
What to do? We had two goals: • More online content. • Make the presentation of information more interesting.

For the K&K A session we have also created a research activity usingWallwisher
Wallwisher Activity • With the class divided into smaller groups they compete to be the first group to stick a post-it on the K&K A Wall with a refereed article on our chosen topic. • We then discuss with the whole class the first correct answer. How did they find it so fast? How do they know it’s refereed?
And freed from PowerPoint our K&K A handouts can now highlight all the interesting themes in the Library K&K A sessions.
