Developing a program of effective learner-centered instruction for students. SET initiated 6 new partnerships in 1998-1999. Quality Standard 2.2 Design, deliver and assess information literacy instruction for 8 new GenEd courses in the life sciences, physical sciences or engineering. All instruction will build on the foundations laid by SET Librarians as part of the 1998-1999 Education MCA project. Recommendations made by members of that group will guide the 1999-2000 efforts.
Partnerships are time-consuming.
Unless attendance at these sessions is required, librarian time is inefficiently utilized. Assessment of student learning was not uniformly implemented. Standard methods of assessing student learning outcomes are needed. Individual personal contact works best in establishing partnerships, but other methods have been successful. The changing nature of our learners and the current research in learning theory have required and enabled these new methods.
