Instructional Design in a Library Setting
Episode description
As the first international guest, ANAMED Library Podcast hosted Ms. Leslin Charles, Instructional Design Librarian and Library Faculty at the New Brunswick Libraries, Rutgers University, New Jersey, US. The discussion was focused on instructional design practice, as a means to enhance and leverage the quality of library instruction. Ms. Charles shared her long experience as an instructional design librarian, explaining its importance and how it should be used by librarians in the creation of learning experiences and materials, in a manner that results in the acquisition and application of knowledge and skills. What are the available tools and methods we can use? How vital is the relationship with faculty members? How can we implement and execute meaningful assessment strategies to monitor impact? How different is instructional design from the usual information literacy classes? Listen to the discussion and find the answers to these questions and more valuable information.
