  1. Designing, Developing, and Evaluating an Interdisciplinary Digital Library Curriculum Jeffrey Pomerantz School of Information & Library Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill pomerantz@unc.edu Tapping the vast reservoir of human knowledge --Louis Round Wilson, founder, 1931

  2. Project team: UNC: Barbara Wildemuth, Sanghee Oh VT: Ed Fox, Seungwon Yang Project advisory board This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Nos. IIS-0535057 (VT) and IIS-0535060 (UNC-CH). Acknowledgements

  3. Develop curriculum materials for teaching digital library topics For use in both LIS and CS programs Lesson plans, exercises, assignments, etc. For the classroom, not online Where is the line between DL curriculum and LIS curriculum? Introduction to the Project

  9. 2006 Curriculum Framework

  10. 2007 Curriculum Framework

  11. 2008 Curriculum Framework

  12. Module name Scope Learning objectives Level of effort required Relationships with other modules Prerequisite knowledge required Introductory remedial instruction Body of knowledge Resources Exercises / Learning activities Evaluation of learning outcomes Glossary Contributors Module Template Completed modules

  13. First draft written by a single author. Module is reviewed by the research team; feedback is provided to the author. Author makes revisions to the module. Module is posted on the project wiki for expert evaluation. (Evaluators have been previously recruited.) Evaluators post comments to the wiki. Author makes revisions to the module. Modules are available to be implemented in the classroom. Module Development Process

  14. Modules are available to be implemented in the classroom. Instructor decides to use a module, modifies it to suit their teaching. After the module is used in class: Students are emailed to fill out an online survey. Instructors are interviewed. Graded student work is collected, if any. Module Evaluation Process

  15. Evaluation: Student Survey • Clearly outlined objectives and outcomes were provided. • The module was well-organized. • The amount of work required for this module was appropriate. • The assigned readings helped me better understand the subject matter. • Given the module’s objectives, the learning activities and/or assignments were appropriate. • The learning activities and/or assignments required thinking and understanding. • The learning activities and/or assignments were stimulating. • Assignments for this module helped me understand what will be expected of me as a professional. • I learned useful professional skills from this module. • I know significantly more about this subject than before I took this module. • Class lectures added to my understanding of the subject. • I gained a good understanding of the basic concepts related to this subject. • I learned to interrelate important issues related to this subject. • This module stimulated me to think critically about the subject matter. • I feel that this learning module served my needs well. • I was very satisfied with this learning module. • Overall, considering its content, design, and structure, this module was effective.

  16. Evaluation: Instructor Interview • Objectives • Body of knowledge • Readings • Learning Activities • Logistics • Overall structure of the module

  17. Evaluation: Assigned Work • Analyzed with respect to the objectives of the module. • Triangulated with the student survey data as a check on both.

  18. Biannual meetings of the advisory board & others, at ASIST & JCDL conferences Recruiting module authors, expert evaluators, and instructors Administrative Issues

  19. Continue to develop modules Develop community of interest How to keep a community of interest interested? Where to host modules in the long term? Wikibooks, Wikiversity, learning object repositories? Future Work

  20. NSF Workshop in November EU-US ATLANTIS Programme Transatlantic Degree Consortia Project IMLS and/or Mellon Foundation Problem-based learning curriculum, internships Future Work

  21. Project site: curric.dlib.vt.edu Includes links to all publications Project wiki: curric.dlib.vt.edu/wiki/ Includes all modules ready to be used & being evaluated This presentation: www.ils.unc.edu/~jpom/conf/Pomerantz_LIDA2008.ppt Project URLs
