LESSONS LEARNED
Lessons Learned Timing is everything Without timing, incentives or accountability required Keep self-paced learning modular, engaging and upbeat (if possible) Most students will complete the online curriculum the day/evening before the in-person session
Lessons Learned Don’t waste in-person session time repeating what was covered in modules Technology is great, but facilitating group work is the most important part of the module Side Effect: increased the presence and positive reputation of the library and its services
Moving Forward Make videos available without tutorial components for students to review Shorten the in-person session to 60 minutes Consider other assessment methods
