Instructional design is a process for systematically designing effective instructional materials and learning opportunities. Good instructional design involves needs assessment, development, evaluation, implementation, and maintenance of the learning system. Gain an understanding of instructional design principles. These principles can help librarians design effective and high-impact teaching environments from semester long courses to one-shot library instruction classes to the effective use of signage and website design. In the course of this half-day preconference, you will create a resource you can take back to your institution in order to implement what you have learned.
Learning outcomes:
- Participants will create a resource that they will take back to their institutions in order to make an immediate impact upon return to instructional duties.
- Participants will understand how instructional design can be useful in one shot instruction, credit courses, tours, web design, etc. in order to know how to apply the principles to work at their institutions.
- Participants will utilize instructional design models in order to create more effective instruction and educational materials.
