Seminar Leader:
John Shank, Penn State University
Description:
This webcast will explore the various methods that libraries can employ to further integrate their services and information literacy programs into Course/Learning Management Systems(e.g. Blackboard, ANGEL, eCollege). This integration is crucial because students and faculty are increasingly using these systems as a primary means to deliver course content. It is vital that the library be fully integrated into this environment to take advantage of the resources sharing, communication, and assessment tools that these systems offer. Using Blended Librarian principles, the webcast will also explore and examine current ‘case studies’ that demonstrate how to appropriately identify and design library services for a Course/Learning Management System environment both at a course-level and a system-level.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explain the various methods that libraries can employ to further integrate their services and information literacy programs into Course/Learning Management Systems (e.g. Blackboard, ANGEL, eCollege).
- Identify the possible benefits that Course/Learning Management Systems can have for a library.
- Review, assess and apply the course-level and/or system-level approach to designing and integrating library services into Course/Learning Management Systems.
