Designers! – Make it Work! Brett Bodemer Humanities and Social Sciences Librarian Robert E. Kennedy Library, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Presented at SCIL Works 2010, Feb. 5, 2010 Long Beach CA
Preview • Brief Presentation • Lecture/Demonstration vs. Discovery Learning/Reporting back • Broken Method Exercise • Personal Solutions • Questions/Discussions
Constraints and barriers in IL Time Room layout Lateness Lack of motivation Vast material to cover Need for assessment Lack of continuity with students
Today’s Design Challenges • Lecture/Demonstration • Discovery Learning/Reporting Back
Advantages of Lecture/Demonstration • Control of time management • Control over coverage of content • Control over order of content • Can focus on content, specific resources
Advantages of Discovery Learning/Reporting Back • Active • Peer dynamics • Hands-on • Students responsible for own learning • Enhanced intrinsic motivation (due to reporting back) • Learning in order to teach creates more motivation than learning in order to be tested • Failure useful – creates teachable moments
Enough of making nice … … now let’s get real.
Tear them Apart • Work in teams • Get 1 marker and 2 easel pad sheets • On 1 sheet list everything that sucks about lecture/demonstration • On another sheet list everything that sucks about discovery learning/reporting back • Draw on your own experience • Think about all barriers and constraints • The longest list for each gets a reward!
Now ...take your methods and fix them! • Look to blend elements from the other method, if need be.
To make a square wheel work you just need to invent round ground …..
Personal solutions • Combining lecture/demonstration with reporting back and assessment Tools: ppt. for instructions whiteboard for navigation cues 1 page handout for tips LibGuide for more information Survey Gizmo for assessment
