  1. Grad students…are they significantly different? Barbara Shaffer Education Librarian 4/17/2009

  2. Research Questions • Are education students learning from graduate level library research instruction ? • Do students learn as well using online course management system tutorials as in face to face (F2F) instruction? • After having instruction and practice, are students more confident in their research skills? • How will students use the various tools provided?

  3. Both groups learned - NSD

  4. Both groups gained confidence - NSD

  5. Did they use the tools provided? • Explored all components of Angel modules in the supervised classroom setting. • Only one student participant returned to any of the modules after the official library instruction class. • When asked where they turned for research help, students were more likely to ask their peers (43%) or their professors (34%) than a librarian (29%).

  6. Are they satisfied? • F2F students reported were significantly more satisfied with the instruction they received. • No difference by professor or age group (25 or younger, older than 25) • What did you like most? (online student survey) • video/text options • Choosing their own pace • “Modules weren’t too long, just long enough” • Suggestions for improvement? • Fix specific confusing quiz questions

  7. Future Applications • Modules remain available in Penfield Library LOR • Copy or link to your Angel course • Use any or all the components – flexible! • Quizzes included for each module • Test could demonstrate mastery • Convenient for out of class instruction (e.g., homework or make-up class) • Other online tools could be imported • Course resource guides • Databases guides (e.g., Children’s Lit Database)

  8. Using Angel Resources To access Library learning object repository content in Angel: • In module choose Add Content • Under “More Options” choose Import from Learning Object Repository (LOR) -- near page bottom • From the BROWSE menu choose Penfield Library LOR • Look for the folder called Education, in which you will find many general resources and another folder called Education Research Instruction . This folder contains all the instruction modules on journal research. • Choose the pieces you want. Link or copy, depending on your intended use. Call me if you need help – it’s a little tricky sometimes  For links to other electronic C&I resources see: http://www.oswego.edu/~bshaffer
